I had trouble shopping too. The photo doesn't match my 30L, and there's no metric scale. On the left is inches. On the top is miles in 1:50,000 scale. On the right is miles in 1:24,000 scale. I like my compass and would recommend it. Hope this helps. **Q: Can you get rid of the silly (i.e. breakable) lanyard snap clip and tie the lanyard (or a piece of paracord) directly to the compass?** A: I have the snap clip on mine and it will take a lot of pull to get the clip to release. This is a safety feature and I would not disconnect it. Either that or use a cord that will break if an accident does happen. Your life is worth more than a thirty dollar compass. **Q: Does it come with basic instructions?** A: It comes with more than just basic instructions, there is a complete User Guide. **Q: Is the compass for northern or southern hemisphere ?** A: The one that I bought is for the northern hemisphere. ## Frequently Bought Together - SUUNTO A-30 Compass: Compact, hiking compass with luminous markings in low light - SUUNTO A-10 Compass: Compact, simple to use recreational hiking compass - TurnOnSport Orienteering Compass - Advanced Scout Compass for Hiking, Camping, and Backpacking - Best Survival Gifts for Kids --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/29598998-a-30-compass-compact-hiking-compass-with-luminous-markings-in](https://www.desertcart.is/products/29598998-a-30-compass-compact-hiking-compass-with-luminous-markings-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
