 Runcton Eclipse for Adventure Seekers August 11, 2008

I purchased the Brunton Eclipse Adventure Racing Compass in addition to Brunton 8099 primarily for taking "on-the-fly" bearing readings. This a great choice for a baseplate compass particularly if you're doing any type of amateur or competitive orienteering. The cirle-in-circle feature is quick to use, accurate, and dependable. The multiple scales accommodate using various size topographic maps commonly used for outdoor hunting, fishing, hiking or geocaching. This a must have for anyone looking for a dependable baseplate compass that will last for years.

This is my second Brunton Eclipse compass I have owned. I lost my first one last year while deer hunting. Just the fact that I bought another one is a tribute to the product it's self. I use the compass along with my GPS unit and a paper map to locate hunting areas in areas that I am not familiar with. Works great.
 Good all around compass June 3, 2007

I purchased this compass because I like the way Brunton uses the circle in a circle method to align the compass and because it has built in scales for UTM grids. This is a good compass to use if you are using paper maps with a GPS. The scales work on 1:24k Topo maps available from the USGS as well as military 1:50k maps. The built in ruler is reversible for English or metric measurement. It also is adjustable for declination. A separate ruler/scale is included to allow you to determine Lat/Long on maps as well. This is a good general purpose compass for someone who wants to be able to work with Topo maps and a GPS.
