CAN I USE MY COMPASS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD?
➖

If you have a global compass – yes.
Otherwise, you will need a compass that are balanced for the magnetic zone you will navigate in.

🧲 3 MAGNETIC ZONES
The Earth’s magnetic field is different in different places. We have divided it into three zones:

🔸MN (Magnetic North)
🔸ME (Magnetic Equator)
🔸MS (Magnetic South)

🧭 CHOOSE YOUR ZONE
Our compasses are balanced for one of the magnetic zones. If you use your compass in the ”wrong” zone, the needle will drag on the top/bottom of the capsule and show an incorrect north.

🌐 OR BUY A GLOBAL COMPASS
If you plan for an adventure on the other side of the world, consider a global compass. The global needle can be used in all three magnetic zones.

The orienteering compasses in the Arc Jet and Spike Jet series have been developed together with world star Tove Alexandersson, multiple world champion in orienteering, the Swedish Orienteering Association and interviews with 2,000 Swedish orienteers.

The result is completely new compasses with the innovative and unique Jet 2.0 needle: world-fast, stable and reliable.

SILVA TERRA – PRODUCTS WITH LESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
➖

As a first step towards circular design, we launched the Terra project – our currently most sustainable products made from recycled materials. 

Terra means ”earth” in Latin, and products with the Terra name are more sustainable and developed to have less environmental impact. Today, the series includes the Terra Scout headlamp, Terra Dry Bags, Terra Rain Covers and the compasses Terra Expedition S, Terra Ranger S, and Terra Ranger SL.

One of the materials used in the headlamps and compasses is Trifilion Revo41, which is a blend of recycled polypropylene and natural fibers from hemp, resulting in a lower CO2 footprint compared to conventional plastic materials. We have also chosen not to color all materials in the series and have eliminated any unnecessary details that could have increased the product’s negative impact. 

Our goal is to take the insights and knowledge gained through Terra and implement them across our entire product portfolio.

NORTH ISN’T ALWAYS NORTH 🤔
➖

Did you know that there is more than one north pole?

This causes some trouble when navigating because your map shows GEOGRAPHIC NORTH, a fixed point on the globe, whereas your compass needle points to MAGNETIC NORTH, which moves slightly over time.

In other words, magnetic north isn’t always true north. 🤯

The angle between true north and magnetic north is called MAGNETIC DECLINATION and is marked in degrees on your map. 🧲

Since the angle varies from place to place, you need to know the local magnetic declination and how to compensate for it.

🧭 HOW TO ADJUST YOUR COMPASS
➖
In areas with significant declination, you must adjust your compass to get the true bearing. Remember that the declination changes over time – an old map could point you in a direction several degrees off.

There are 2 ways of adjusting a SILVA compass:

📏 1. FIXED SCALE
➖
Most SILVA compasses have a fixed declination correction scale inside the capsule to simplify the calculations required.

🪛 2. ADJUSTMENT SCREW
➖
Some SILVA compasses have a declination adjustment screw, located on the bezel. A small screwdriver can be found inside the safety release of the included lanyard.

Follow the steps in the compass manual when adjusting your compass.

3 SILVA COMPASS FEATURES 🧭
➖

 1. SCALE LANYARD 📏
➖
A scale lanyard is a soft and flexible lanyard with scales for measuring the distance – and travel time – of your hike.

Simply place it directly on the map and use one of the scales to measure the distance of your route.

2. SLOPE CARD 🏔️
➖
When planning your route, the slope card is a useful tool for determining avalanche risk and how challenging your journey will be. Avalanche risk increases if the slope is more than 30 degrees, and the slope card makes it easier to assess this risk.

Read the instructions on how to use it in the compass manual.

3. MAGNIFYING GLASS 🔎
➖
Some Silva compasses have a built-in magnifying glass to help you read the map more precisely.
