I had trouble shopping too. The photo doesn't match my 30L, and there's no metric scale. On the left is inches. On the top is miles in 1:50,000 scale. On the right is miles in 1:24,000 scale. I like my compass and would recommend it. Hope this helps. **Q: Can you get rid of the silly (i.e. breakable) lanyard snap clip and tie the lanyard (or a piece of paracord) directly to the compass?** A: I have the snap clip on mine and it will take a lot of pull to get the clip to release. This is a safety feature and I would not disconnect it. Either that or use a cord that will break if an accident does happen. Your life is worth more than a thirty dollar compass. **Q: Does it come with basic instructions?** A: It comes with more than just basic instructions, there is a complete User Guide. **Q: Is the compass for northern or southern hemisphere ?** A: The one that I bought is for the northern hemisphere. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finnish Made! *by B***B on October 5, 2025* Finnish made quality, accuracy, and durabilty. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Suunto A-30 base plate compass *by D***M on November 10, 2025* The compass was purchased as a gift, for someone who wants to get into 'land nav'.

The compass was delivered on time, the day before she left. She reports that it functioned well, and she was able to obtain the measurements that she wanted. When I examined the compass before she left, it seemed to function well, and to be straightforward to use. ## Frequently Bought Together - SUUNTO A-30 Compass: Compact, hiking compass with luminous markings in low light - SUUNTO A-10 Compass: Compact, simple to use recreational hiking compass - TurnOnSport Orienteering Compass - Advanced Scout Compass for Hiking, Camping, and Backpacking - Best Survival Gifts for Kids --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/29598998-a-30-compass-compact-hiking-compass-with-luminous-markings-in](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/29598998-a-30-compass-compact-hiking-compass-with-luminous-markings-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
