MAP COMPASS

The Liquid Map Compass is designed to help users navigate and orient themselves using maps and the natural environment. Its liquid-filled capsule reduces needle wobble and enhances stability, making it easier to read and use even while moving. The compass typically features a clear baseplate with map-specific markings and a rotating bezel for precise bearings and navigation.
