Take your navigation to the next level with our mirrored baseplate TruArc 15 Compass. Pro features include internal vial inclinometer and lid inclinometer that is ideal for advanced navigation, snow-safety, search & rescue, or scientific field work.
Drawing upon our classic 15TDCL, the all new TruArc™ 15 is upgraded with a full coverage mirror cover for extra protection, and the TruArc™ Global Needle system with Ever-North™ rare earth magnets. The high-visibility cling lends low-light and night time performance, and the triple clinometers system gives fast and accurate reference information for avalanche safety or earth-science field work.
Standard TruArc 15 Model baseplate has inch and centimeter scales
Luminous TruArc 15 Model has a luminous bezel that allows you to travel a bearing well after dark. The luminous azimuth ring, magnetic needle, direction of travel arrow and sight will glow brightly for up to 8 hours.
TruArc 15 Imperial baseplate has inch (1/20) scale along the leading edge and map scales along the side edges. Map scales correspond with USGS topographic maps. 1:62,500 Miles (1/10) and 1:24,000 Miles (1/10).
