UST Deluxe Map Compass - Blue | Precision Navigation Tool

Whether you're backcountry hunting, wilderness camping, or just want genuine navigation skills in your pack, the UST Deluxe Map Compass is a liquid-filled orienteering compass built to work reliably when you need it most. This isn't a gadget that relies on batteries or satellites—it's a field-proven navigation tool that pairs precision engineering with practical features designed by folks who actually spend time in remote country.

The liquid-filled needle dampens quickly, so you get stable readings even if your hand moves. The swivel bezel lets you set and hold a bearing without fumbling, and the adjustable marching line helps you navigate in a straight line across terrain. The extended base plate is the real workhorse here: it's oversized for easier map reading and includes multiple measuring scales so you can plot routes, estimate distances, and verify your position without pulling out a separate ruler or calculator.

At just 1.8 ounces and barely thicker than a credit card, it stows in a pack pocket or cargo pouch without complaint. The included breakaway lanyard keeps it accessible around your neck or lashed to your gear. Size-wise, at 5 inches long and 2.4 inches wide, it strikes a balance between portability and enough base plate surface to work with real topographic maps.
