excellent compass4
The Brunton type 15 is an excellent compass. What I enjoy the most is having the protractors (both 1:50,000 and 1:24,000) cut right into its baseplate. This eliminates the need to carry a separate plastic protractor like we did in the Army. The entire compass has easy to read numbers, everything is sharply etched, including the glow-in-the-dark points, of which there are eight. The needle swings freely with no stoppages or hiccups. The azimuth ring moves smoothly too, but is built into the frame tightly enough so that it won't slip accidentally. The best feature by far is the declination adjustment. I think this time saver would have been considered cheating in the Army. The type 15 for Brunton is still made in Sweden where it originated. Most of their competition, even those that once produced military quality compasses like Silva, now have their instruments churned out of southeast Asian factories, despite selling them for comparable prices.

Excellent compass5
The Silva Ranger type 15 used to be a very good compass, They changed it and is now an absolute joke. This Brunton Nexus Elite is the same as the old Silva Ranger type 15 and is an excellent compass. The person who rated it and complained that it was not digital does not know enough about a compass to be buying one in the first place.(Does it even remotely look digital?) I have done forestry work for a long time and I would take this compass anywhere. Very accurate for somebody that knows how to use a compass.

Excellent Compass for the Money5
Over the years I have owned several compasses, and this one is, hands down, the best. It is well thought out, easy to use and has a fantastic array of features for a $50 compass. While I haven't abused the compass, it's construction tells me that it can take a beating. I'm really impressed and I recommend it without reservation. Hats off to Amazon.com for getting it to me in one day - shipped for free!
