What is a compass and how does it work?
Despite the fact that many people are familiar with compasses, we will briefly discuss it here. After all, not everyone knows exactly what a compass is and/or how it works. Compasses were used for navigation years ago. This navigation instrument has a round shape and is equipped with a needle. This needle is a magnet and can move freely in the compass. Because a traditional compass has a magnet with a north and south pole, the needle always points in the direction in which you hold the compass.
Do you want to know where north, east, south or west is? Then a compass offers a solution. The different wind directions are indicated on this navigation instrument. If you want to determine where the north is, simply hold the compass with the relevant wind direction forward. Then rotate your body to determine where north is. Since many people today can navigate with their phones, compasses are not used very much anymore. Yet there are still people who use it regularly.

- Format
Don't buy a compass before looking at its size. The dimensions of compasses can differ considerably from each other. Some people prefer a large compass, because they can read the direction well. The disadvantage of large compasses is that they are not easy to store. Is this a hard requirement? Then choose a small compass instead. You can often easily put this in your trouser or jacket pocket. - Material
In addition to the size, the material is also something you should pay attention to when buying a compass. Many people think that this navigation instrument is made of steel as standard, but that is not the case. There are also compasses made of plastic for sale. If you are looking for a quality compass, it is best to look at compasses made of steel. - Extra functionalities
You use a compass to navigate. Yet there are also compasses that you can do more with. Therefore, first ask yourself what you want with the tool. Is navigating sufficient for you or would you like a compass with extra functionalities? You can filter the offer based on this answer. - Pricing
The price is a final consideration when buying a compass. The prices of compasses can vary quite a bit. Never blindly choose the cheapest compass.
