What kind of button compass is the best for direction

When you're looking for a compass, you'll likely to choose a cheap and useful compass. A button compass is just the right choice for you. It is not expensive, but can point direction for you.

There are two types of button compasses. One is oil filled compass. The oil filled magnetic compass is very beautiful and has a better plump looking. The top case of this compass is transparent. The oil inside are used to eliminate static electricity so that the compass will have more precise direction. The dry compass is a little more compulicated to produce. We need to paint anti-static after we finish the installation. 99% percent of our customers are using oil filled compass for diameter size below 35mm.40mm button compass

You see there is a groove at the compass edge. This is designed for installtion on other products such as toys, walking sticks, whistles, etc. If you order 1000pcs, we can change the inside plate design to your custom design.

How to use a compass

Learning how to use a compass is very important before you start your outdoor life. Not just for walkers, but cyclists and runners too. It's necessary to take a compass with you, but even better if you know what to do with it.jesus compass

Our guide to using a compass gives you the basic skills, hopefully without over-complicating things.

A compass helps you to find where you are and find your way; this is very useful but can be critical if you get lost and visibility is poor. The main ways you use a compass are:

  •  'Setting' the map with the compass so that it matches what you see on the ground, and that you're pointing in the right direction.
  •  Taking a bearing from the map and walking on a bearing (direction)
  •   Using a bearing to identify features on the ground by checking the bearing from where you are.
  •   Identifying your own position using 'back bearings' from two or more distant known features (also known as 'resectioning').
