The first device similar to a compass was used hundreds of years ago. The function of the compass was based on the observation that a piece of magnetic ironstone would always align itself with the north-south direction. You most certainly know that the cardinal points can easily be set by the position of the sun or the amount of lichen on a bark; however, there can be moments when our knowledge of nature can be far too little. To facilitate orientation in difficult situations, we recommend choosing a compass from the range of our sports and active leisure stores "Gandrs".
