A magnifier with scales in both mm/inches as well as the inclusion of Romer scales 1:25k, 1:50k and 1:63.3k. Other key features include a level of accuracy guaranteed within 1-degree of true course, stencil holes for exact map position marking and an ergonomic, easy-grip compass operation for ease of operation.
