also have a large sighting mirror with a vee notch, so you can take
readings on distant landmarks. A geared declination allows  adjustment
for the difference in degrees between magnetic north and true north,
giving you a faster read and reducing chance of error. The clinometer lets
you measure angles of inclination. Just hold the compass and measure the
angle of the incline. The long side of the compass should coincide with
the slope of the terrain. And the CLQ utilizes Quadrant graduations N(0°)-E(90°)-S(0°)-W(90°),

black printing dial numbers, let you effortlessly find your reading. While
luminous points make it easy to find bearings in dim light. Both come with
