rucksack wrote:About the 'disappearance' of the multi-zone compass, you are probably right, but multi-zone compasses were only ever a very small niche within the handheld and baseplate compass 'market'. With digital navigation aids making growing inroads into the traditional compass market, it is not surprising that niche compasses are the first to go. The general range of bushwalking compasses on offer now from the major compass manufacturers continues to shrink and soon we may only be left with the very basic 'cheapies' and the fiendishly expensive and little in between. Life eh?
