Great compass, easy to use

Exactly what I ordered. This is a great compass for beginners. Includes instructions and lanyard. I still recommend that you learn a little how to use a compass and a map, because there's something called declination. Declination is the angular difference between north on the compass and north on the map. You have to be prepared for this if you want to get from point A to point B using a map. This compass makes it easy to adjust for declination/angle differences. Note. Some compasses allow you to set the declination once, so you don't have to keep adjusting it. This compass does not have this function. However, it is still an amazing compass. To find out the declination of the area you are traveling in, just type it into Google. For example, type "What is the declination of Yosemite." If +13.00 degrees is displayed, rotate the compass counterclockwise 13.00 degrees. If it reads -13.00 degrees, turn the compass clockwise 13.00 degrees. Use the red markings on the inside of the compass to set to 13.00 degrees. Do not use external black grade markers.
