Suunto MC-2 G Compass

A global needle is balanced to function accurately anywhere in the world, regardless of magnetic zone. Standard compasses are typically balanced for specific hemispheres, but this model allows you to travel internationally without the needle dragging or tilting.

The mirror serves two primary purposes: it allows you to sight a bearing while simultaneously seeing the compass dial for greater precision, and it can be used as a signaling device in emergency situations to reflect sunlight.

Yes, you should use the included tool to adjust the declination correction. This aligns the compass needle with true north rather than magnetic north, which is essential for accurate map reading in your specific geographic location.

The clinometer is used to measure vertical angles, such as the steepness of a slope. This is particularly useful for mountaineers and backcountry skiers to assess avalanche risk or determine the difficulty of a climb.

Yes, the compass features luminescent markings on the bezel and needle. These glow in the dark after being exposed to light, making it easier to read your bearing during dawn, dusk, or night navigation.

Yes, the compass includes a detachable snap-lock lanyard with a wristlock. This design allows you to easily detach the compass from your neck to place it flat on a map for navigation without having to take the entire lanyard off.
