This compass is easy to use and has global capability.  The needle dampens quickly compared to lesser expensive compasses.  The user can adjust the bezel for declination so that readings can be taken directly off the compass.  However, I can't give it five stars because the price is ridiculously high.  This compass is made of plastic,  and I had to pay $65 for it?  Come on, guys.  Either bring the price down, or give us some additional value to justify the cost.
