How often should I check the accuracy of my compass?
It is recommended to check the accuracy of your compass before every use, especially if it has been stored near magnets or electronic devices.
What is the difference between a basic compass and a professional compass?
Professional compasses often have additional features such as sighting mirrors, clinometers, and global needles for accuracy in various environments.
Can a compass be used in conjunction with a GPS device?

How do I navigate with a compass alone?
To navigate with just a compass, you need to identify your current location and desired direction, then align the compass needle with the north arrow to follow your intended path.
