Why this one
The cheaper Explorer 500 qualifies through its own written owner pattern, including repeated use on orienteering routes, readable handling and useful map magnification.
Specifications and sources
What independent testers found
What owners report
Repeated use on orienteering routes, readable handling and useful map magnification. This is not a laboratory accuracy comparison.
Limits and cautions
- This is a compass price, not a complete map-and-compass basket. The required map must cover the intended route and escape options. Buying either object does not supply navigation skill. A route-specific map basket is deliberately unfilled.
- Do not confuse a declination scale with an independently verified adjustable correction mechanism.
- The readable owner reports support ordinary navigation use, not specialist surveying or cave surveying.
- The dated offer uses the upper carrier-dependent delivered budget, not an Eircode quote. The checkout may offer a different carrier and price.
