I really hate to burst your bubble...I do I mean it.... but save your money..... get a good compass for a few bucks, get a free glass (think power) from a broken set of bi noc's or scope, and get a zipper pull thermometer for kicks.......<br><br>I know that thing is small, and it seems here there is a kick on small/lite weight, and some of that is ok, but not a compass. A bad compass is about as good as a bad map.<br><br>The only time I was ever lost was with a bad map, and franckly it sucked. It was winter late in the day, and the trail markers were under about 7'(feet) of ice somewhere. I was not equipped to be out over night. I was working out with the map and the compass for fun..... The map brought me to a place called "Sleeper Brook" But this was 1,500' above it with a vertical drop! At that point both the compass and map were less than usless, and I started doing a circle pattern to find the trail again, which ain't easy above tree line.......Mac
