"Pros: Mechanically accurate, lightweight, affordable. Lots of map scales. One of the few compasses with a 1:24K right-angle romer scale for use with USGS topo maps, making it ideal to plot one's position when traveling in the U. S. , especially when using GPS."

"Excellent compass to use with map and GPS. Adjustable declination and large baseplate make for easy use in conjunction with a map. Brunton's 'Circle on circle' north orienting system is fast and easy to use. Designed to be used with a GPS in order to plot position (either UTM or lat/long) on a topo map, the 8096 is excellent for this purpose."
