The compass comes with a slope card and a distance lanyard. The slope card is great both for detecting avalanche risk and for determining how challenging your journey will be. By knowing the slope you can also judge any extra distance that you need to go due to the slope. The distance lanyard has four scales on it; 1:24k, 1:25k, 1:50k and 1:62.5, which facilitates to measure the distance of your hike. Since its soft and bendable it’s easy to place it directly on to your route on the map Explorer Pro features DryFlex grip for easy handling, a clinometer for measuring slope angle and comes with a built-in adjuster for magnetic declination. It also features map-measuring in mm, inches, scales of 1:25k, 1:40k 1:50k, 1:24k USGS scale and GPS scales. The baseplate has a curved-up at the back-end for perfect fit in the hand, magnifying lens and rubber friction feet for precision map work. The distinct arrow and scales/markings in a clear contemporary font combined with lots of transparency in the baseplate makes navigating easier - when activated in light the luminous markings enable night time navigation. The red/black north-south lines in the capsule bottom ensures easy and safe settling. The needle is made from finest Swedish steel with high quality magnetic features. Review: The compass comes with a US slope card not a European slope card - The compass comes with a US slope card not a European slope card. This information is missing the product description. Review: Great compass but has some drawbacks - Great compass and very easy to use but has a couple of issues which I am sure the manufacturer could easily rectify. Firstly it has luminous marking in all the correct places EXCEPT on the compass needle so makes it tricky using at night as nigh on impossible to see which way the needle is pointing. Secondly the clip holding the lanyard together is a bit flimsy and there is a possibility of loosing the compass when it is hanging around your neck. I am sure he manufacturer could make a male/female coupling with threads which would be far more secure. ## Features - Slope card for measuring slope and extra distance - DryFlex Rubber grip for easy handling of the compass/great grip - Built in adjuster for magnetic declination - Night use / luminous markings enable night time navigation up to 4 hours once activated by daylight/flashligh - Magnifying lens for precision map work ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079XVHJ2Q | | Best Sellers Rank | 140,850 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 342 in Compasses (Sports & Outdoors) | | Brand | Silva | | Brand Name | Silva | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 266 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07318860198663 | | Included Components | Compass, lanyard | | Item Dimensions L x W | 12.7L x 20.3W centimetres | | Item Type Name | ORIENTEER | | Manufacturer | Liberty Mountain Sports LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 37687 | | Map Scale | 1:25k, 1:40k, 1:50k, 1:24k USGS, GPS | | Map scale | 1:25k, 1:40k, 1:50k, 1:24k USGS, GPS | | Material | Sonstige | | Material Type | Sonstige | | Model Number | 37687 | | Mounting Type | lanyard mount | | Mounting type | lanyard mount | | Product dimensions | 12.7L x 20.3W centimetres | | Special Features | Handheld | | Special feature | Handheld | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Silva - **Map scale:** 1:25k, 1:40k, 1:50k, 1:24k USGS, GPS - **Material:** Sonstige - **Product dimensions:** 12.7L x 20.3W centimetres - **Special feature:** Handheld ## Images ![Explorer Pro Compass - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WMEYuShqL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the 1:24 map scale units in kilometers or miles?** A: 1:24 is a ratio scale and can be in any unit.
