The user-friendly compass features a large, liquid-filled capsule and an adjustable declination correction scale that guarantees a high level of accuracy. Another convenient feature is the serrated bezel ring, which is easy to turn even in cold conditions while wearing gloves. And thanks to the easy-to-read luminous markings and magnifying lens, the M-3G is ideally suited to navigating in poor visibility. The compass even features a base plate with anti-slip rubber pads for stability and rounded edges for ergonomic comfort in the hand.
The real star of the M-3G, however, is its global needle, which works anywhere on the planet. Previously, most compasses functioned well in only one of five geographic zones. That’s because the compasses were balanced differently based on the zone’s inclination, i.e., the vertical intensity and direction of the Earth’s magnetic field. However, as people began to travel more, it became clear that globe-hoppers needed compasses with a greater geographical range. Suunto responded by developing two-zone systems–which work in either the northern or southern hemisphere–and one-zone systems such as the global M-3G. Now there’s no need to purchase several compasses before embarking on your around-the-world eco adventure.
The M-3G, which also features a jewel bearing and marking holes for drawing control points, measures 2.4 by 4.9 inches and weighs a mere 1.6 ounces. In addition, the compass carries a lifetime warranty.

Suunto M-3G Global Compass I have several cheap compasses that share a certain difficulty in finding “North.” One has to attempt to level them then the needle goes back and forth before finally settling on North. The needles are easily attracted to each other or electronic devices. I liked the fail-safe idea of a needle that always finds North anywhere on our planet.
Awesome compass ! This is a really good compass !
