Description

Ideal for advanced navigation, snow-safety or search and rescue, the Brunton Truarc15 Luminescent compass has a mirrored baseplate and a host of handy features for navigating in the field.

Features
  • Tool-free declination adjustment is simple and fast to orient magnetic north to true north
  • TruArc™ Global Needle tilts up to 20° for balanced use worldwide
  • Luminous azimuth ring, magnetic needle, direction of travel arrow and sight will glow brightly for up to 8 hrs. for when you need to travel a bearing after dark
  • Brunton EverNorth magnet resists demagnetization over time
  • Magnified readout provides highest degree of accuracy without compromising readability
  • Dual azimuth ring includes reverse azimuth
  • Sighting mirror and sighting line integrated into the cover; align for the most accurate bearings, whether you're taking or following a bearing
  • Clinometer with 2° resolution for measuring slope angle or gauging heights of passes, peaks or trees
  • Inch/millimeter scales for accurate and effective map work
  • Engineer's ruler
  • Bubble level for precision readings; keeping the compass level (not the needle level) is a critical aspect for taking accurate bearings
  • Map magnifier helps with viewing small details on any map
  • High-visibility cling for enhanced performance in low light; can be removed to facilitate map use
  • 1° resolution azimuth ring provides precise readings
  • Meridian lines on vial assist during pre-trip planning when aligning with map grid lines
