* Each Str8 compass has three different angle settings for your thumb strap to accommodate your hand shape and to ensure that your direction arrow is always pointing straight ahead of you.
* The base of each thumb plate features an anti-slip map gripper to avoid losing contact with the map.
* A direction line runs from the point of the thumb plate right through the compass module to make it easier to take bearings while on course.
