Brunton TruArc 15 Mirrored Baseplate Compass

The Brunton TruArc 15 Compass is a mirrored baseplate compass built for hikers, hunters, search-and-rescue volunteers, and anyone doing serious map-and-compass work in the backcountry. It steps well beyond a basic dial-and-arrow model, pairing a lid inclinometer with an internal vial clinometer so you can measure slope angle along with your bearing. It’s assembled in Riverton, Wyoming, and designed to back up a GPS unit or take over completely when batteries die or signal drops. TruArc Global Needle tilts up to 20 degrees, keeping the needle balanced and readable no matter where in the world you’re navigating Tool-free declination adjustment lets you dial in magnetic-to-true-north correction in seconds, no separate key needed Meridian lines on the vial help you square the compass to map grid lines during route planning Clinometer with 2-degree resolution measures slope angle, useful for reading avalanche terrain or gauging the height of a ridge or tree Sighting mirror and sighting line built into the lid let you take and follow a precise bearing in one motion Bubble level keeps the compass body level, which matters more for accuracy than leveling the needle alone Brunton EverNorth magnet resists demagnetizing over years of use, and a magnified readout keeps the dial easy to read in the field Built-in engineer’s ruler, inch/centimeter map scales, and a map magnifier round out the tool for detailed map work Dimensions: 4 x 2.5 x 0.6 in. Weight: 3.2 oz. Azimuth: 1-degree resolution Country of origin: Made in USA (Riverton, Wyoming) Packaging: FSC-certified, recyclable Whether you’re plotting a route, calling in a rescue coordinate, or just double-checking a GPS reading, the TruArc 15 gives you the tools to do it precisely.
