magnet, precisely balanced on a sapphire

bearing, resulting in a powerful magnet,
which quickly seeks magnetic north and
permits faster readings.

International 360
The design for the International Pocket
Transit effectively reduces needle dip
when professionals travel to different
hemispheres. Powerful Alnico V magnets

are mounted to a polished, cupped

sapphire jewel bearing, allowing for smooth
needle movement.

The solid aluminum, waterproof Geo
Transit contains a fast, magnetic north
seeking, rare-earth magnet, balanced
on a sapphire jewel bearing for quick
measurements. The most noticeable

to +/- 2. This feature allows simultaneous

trend and plunge measurements, reducing
the number of measurements required in
the field. An innovative needle design can
be locked or unlocked.

CAUTION! Storing a compass close to a permanent magnet can affect permanently its accuracy.
