DescriptionThe TrekGuide Digital Compass (Yellow) from Celestron provides degrees, a north pointing arrow and cardinal point readings. The compass has a range of 0° To 359° with 1-16 graphical pointers. There is even a magnetic declination angle adjustable for regions with magnetic variation. The built-in altimeter measures the altitude in either meters or feet; your choice. The Barometer measures the (air) pressure and sea level in mbar/hpPa, mmHG or inHG; again your choice. There are sunny, slightly cloudy, cloudy and rainy icons for the weather forecast. Current time and date, an alarm clock, a built in thermometer with either Celsius or Fahrenheit scales, a backlight, and a bubble level make this compass a multi-purpose tool that you won't want to be without on the hiking trail or hunting. It comes with a lanyard and 2 included CR2032 lithium batteries.

Comments about Celestron TrekGuide Digital Compass (Yellow):
Sharp looking, easy to understand how to use, and compact size is great for when hiking. Could NOT find sufficient instructions with it or online to set up some of the initial settings such as how to find my current altitude or barometric pressure. Not sure how to hook up the lanyard either with the snap device provided (with no instructions either). The little guide said to look online, but the online version had nothing more than it did. Will take on my next trip and see just how accurate the compass is as well as the altimeter.
