Product Information

Cheap versions were given away at petrol stations, or combined into all-singing all-dancing measurer/compass/thermometers made in China by the thousand. Use the miles / km / nautical miles / yards switch to measure distances in km or in miles or nautical miles. Each vertical strip map in the atlas showed compass orientation and distances in miles and furlongs.

Made almost a century ago, it is still an effective and useful piece of kit that cost me less than a tenner. While a piece of cord or length of paper will simply measure a length, more complicated measurers can record in many units- multiples or sub-units of inches or feet, centimetres or metres, versts, miles or kilometres. Great way of working out routes over all sorts of terrains on Maps and excellent because it can cope with so many different scales. Instead we have outlined below a few of the main types of fit found in our ranges and how they compare. Missed payments will show on your credit file potentially making credit harder to obtain and will result in late fees being added to the debt.Whether you are on a day hike or a holiday with planned daily target stages you can measure your distance with the Silva Map Measurer Path. The extra feature of timing and distance is not really of huge use when variable terrain is being navigated. Once set up it is difficult to use on the map as the measuring wheel does not run as smoothly as my old one.

The Silva Expedition 4-360 Compass is an essential tool for advanced navigators, mountaineers, explorers and rescue professionals. I am one of a seemingly dying breed who still likes, appreciates and takes hard copy paper maps on trail.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This item is quite expensive for a map measurer, especially if you simply want to check walking distances on 1:25000 maps. In ogni caso in produzione sono cosi pochi e cosi poco accessibili che mi sento di dare 4 stelle complessive.

Some mention that it is a very useful device that works very well, while others say that it simply doesn't work properly and failed entirely after 9 months of very light use.

In recent years however, as digital mapping comes to the fore, they have very much fallen out of fashion. A must for anyone who does walking, cycling and especially great for people doing expaditions or Duke of Endingburgh. The distance calculator will then display a measurement of the length in feet, meters, miles and kilometers. A valuable piece of kit you will not want to forget when embarking on your next expedition adventure. I use this a lot, really an excellent tool, but the cross marker can sometimes be really hard to spot on the map, especially in full screen mode.

More expensive designs of map measurer that incorporated a dial scale didn’t really appear in any great numbers until the later nineteenth century. But if I do use an analogue map measurer on my paper maps while planning, it forces me to look at the terrain, the twists and turns, the type of country being crossed- across bogs, through woods, traversing moorland, traipsing through the backstreets of towns. The rangefinder allows you to quickly calculate the distance by measuring the distance between two points on the map. We regret to say that we are unable to change the address or postcode on a parcel once it has been despatched. The M-Series represents durable, reliable, high quality navigational aids, which perform flawlessly in even the most demanding of conditions.This map spacing meter has a mini -metal handle that is convenient for grasping, lightweight and portable, easy to use. Lack of waterproof carry case / pouch which seems an obvious requirement given it's marketed to hikers and sailors. As 2023 comes to an end, Three Points of the Compass takes a glance at a handful of items of gear that accompanied me on trail.
