Image above shows the underside of the DP-65 compass. The underside of the mirror can be seen which contains a conversion chart. The mirror can be pushed back in the housing when working with a map, which allows you to see through the dial onto the map. The side scale can also be seen in this photo on the housing.

Global Needle
balanced for worldwide use

The Global compass needle is a revolutionary concept because of its flawless function in all zones of the world.  A typical feature for regular compasses is that they can function without problems only at limited longitudes because the changes in the magnetic field affect the position of the needle.

The Global compass solves this problem with a patented structural innovation. The needle and magnet are built as separate units functioning independently from each other, so that the inclination of the magnetic field cannot tilt the needle. Due to the strong magnet, the needle settles very quickly and stops immediately at the right position, allowing for an extremely accurate reading.
