 Product Description
The Magnetic Plotting Compass is a precision navigational and laboratory instrument designed to measure and plot directions and angles with accuracy. It features a magnetized needle that aligns with the Earth’s magnetic field, mounted on a rotating base marked with degree graduations for angular measurements. Commonly used in navigation, surveying, cartography, and educational demonstrations, the plotting compass aids in determining bearings and orientations. Its durable construction and clear scale markings make it suitable for fieldwork and laboratory settings where accurate directional data is required.
