The Silva Expedition is the gold standard in analog reliability—an \"expert-level\" baseplate compass designed for those who take their navigation seriously. It’s not just a pointer; it’s a precision tool kit for your map. Featuring a built-in clinometer for measuring slopes, a magnifying lens for fine map detail, and a unique scale lanyard that lets you measure your route as easily as laying down a piece of string, it turns \"finding your way\" into a science. It is the ultimate insurance policy for your backcountry kit, ensuring you always have a clear path home, regardless of the terrain or the tech.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAdvanced Navigation Toolkit:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes a slope card and a clinometer to help you judge terrain difficulty and measure slope angles—essential for both route planning and safety in steep areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScalable Distance Lanyard:\u003c\/b\u003e The detachable lanyard is soft, bendable, and marked with 1:25 and 1:50 scales, allowing you to measure the actual curves of your trail directly on the map.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrecision Map Work:\u003c\/b\u003e Silicon rubber friction feet prevent the compass from sliding on your map, while the integrated magnifying lens helps you spot the smallest contour lines and landmarks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAll-Hours Reliability:\u003c\/b\u003e Features luminous markings that stay visible for up to 4 hours after light exposure, making night navigation or low-light woods travel much safer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGlobal Accuracy:\u003c\/b\u003e Equipped with a permanent magnetic declination adjuster, so you can set it once for your local area and read true north directly from the dial without doing manual math.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Effort:\u003c\/b\u003e Advanced hiking, search and rescue, orienteering, and professional field work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Goal:\u003c\/b\u003e Precise, fail-proof navigation that doesn't rely on satellites or batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Conditions:\u003c\/b\u003e Thick coastal fog, dense forests, and any adventure requiring high-detail map reading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAccuracy:\u003c\/b\u003e 1°\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScales:\u003c\/b\u003e 1:25k, 1:40k, 1:50k, mm, inch, GPS scales\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/b\u003e Clinometer, Slope Card, Scale Lanyard, Magnifying Lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003e Waterproof, Swedish steel needle with sapphire jewel bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.7 x 6.0 x 1.3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 50 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Silva","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45807200862265,"sku":null,"price":74.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/3251\/2825\/files\/Expedition_37448_37450_37452_main_2022_176611a8-0ad1-49de-b5e6-f82105c10a86_1800x1800_result.webp?v=1778005189","url":"https:\/\/3mile.ca\/products\/silva-expedition-baseplate-compass-professional-grade-navigation","provider":"3 Mile Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
