While I don't claim to be an expert at orienteering, this compass has served me quite well. I have participated in several adventure races with this compass and the plotting tool is a huge improvement over the plotting grids with no pen hole that many organizers provide. While you do have to keep the compass level for the needle to find north I didn't notice any unusual lag. This is also the most expensive compass I have owned so maybe pricier models will track to north quicker. Overall I am very pleased with it.
