Silva Expedition 360 Global – Advanced baseplate compass for worldwide use

The Silva Expedition 360 Global is the ultimate baseplate compass for experienced users and professionals who require reliable navigation anywhere in the world. With its global needle, it works in all magnetic zones – from pole to equator – making it ideal for international expeditions, challenging adventures and professional navigation.

It features a clinometer for measuring slope angles and avalanche risk, plus a detachable distance lanyard with scales for accurate measurement of longer map distances. The transparent baseplate is marked with multiple map scales: mm, inches, GPS 1:24k, 1:25k, 1:40k, 1:50k, ensuring compatibility with most topographic maps.

The rubber grip and friction feet provide stability in all conditions. An integrated permanent regulator for magnetic declination allows the compass to compensate for the difference between magnetic and true north. This means the needle points directly to the corrected north, enabling you to set an accurate course or orient your map instantly. Luminous markings allow reliable navigation even in the dark.

Rugged, waterproof and built for demanding environments – the Silva Expedition 360 Global is the professional’s choice for serious navigation.
