Nomad Digital Compass

Brunton

buy this gift now

While the Brunton Nomad Digital Compass was designed for outdoors professionals who need quick, accurate readings, its user-friendly configuration makes it a natural fit for orienteering novices of the world. Yes, the Nomad is easy to use. But more importantly, it is easy to remember how to use. The green arrow-light indicates that you are heading in the correct direction, and the red arrow-light indicates that you are off-course and points you toward the correct direction. And unlike any compass we've heard of, this compass will even flag you when an external magnetic interference is altering your reading.
