    5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite of the tiny compasses, November 20, 2008

    This compass is small enough to fit in a watch pocket, yet it's easy to read and accurate, within its size limits. It's marked in five degree increments, white print on black, and has luminous dots in all the right places. It's not built to do pinpoint triangulation, but it takes up no room in a belt pack and dependably gets me back to my car after a day hike.

    I actually use the pin-on feature: It keeps me on line on archaeological survey transects, and I can have both hands free.

    This is the same design as the old Swedish Silva 27. I was happy to see that my new Brunton 27 still says "Made in Sweden".

    My short review of the Brunton 27 LU. First, I own a Silva 27 that I have used for many (15) years and really liked to carry due to its delightful light weight and small size. The Silva and Brunton LU appear identical with the exception of the manufactures logo on the flip up portion of the compass. Graduations on the degree scale are 5 degrees and are best used for rough navigation though I've found the readings reasonably accurate and repeatable when compared to a full size compass. Declination corrections must be performed manually. If more precise land navigation is required or if you prefer not to endure the mental gymnastics of adding or subtracting the declination, I would recommend choosing a full featured and full sized sighting compass.
    I did have one complaint about the Brunton compass I purchased from Amazon LLC. It had a small air bubble in the fluid that dampens the needle movement and is a sign of fluid loss from the capsule. I have contacted Brunton by phone and... Read more

    This is a functional compass but I realized it's too small for my taste. I wanted to return it to get a bigger one and realized I cannot, so please read all the print. Also, very bad packaging. I received it in a very big box, all smashed up, with crunched up paper inside and no invoice. Beware!
