Being an Outdoor enthusiast that likes hiking, fishing and stargazing, I had always wanted to add a good compass to my outdoorsman equipment. When in New unfamiliar areas I have needed to know my orientation to setup my telescope prior to nightfall, as well as to know my way back when fishing at a different lake. I have a very simple old pocket compass but needed to upgrade it to something better as I was having difficulty sometimes. I decided to give the Brunton 8099 a try given its price and the better protected cover it has. I am yet to try it out, I am learning how to use it at this point. I hope this solves the problem cellphones have when not within range of a good signal.

Have used this compass and its brown predecessor for the past 16 years as a Search and Rescue K9 Handler and Training Officer. I have found this compass to be very accurate, even through setting up the dozens of navigational courses for my team! I recently bought the True Arc 20 from Brunton and pitted it against my older version 8099 compasses (both the brown and the green case) and found the True Arc was off, so I ordered another 8099, even though discontinued and used. I love this compass!
