Review: Excellent specilist compass - This is a specialist piece of kit with the main reading in Mils that would be unsuitable for teaching beginners to navigate with and is not really necessary for the average hill walker for whom degrees are entirely adequate. It's called "Militaire" for a very good reason! Having taught my son to navigate in degrees using a conventional compass I bought him this one as he plans to join the Army and will need to be familiar with navigating in mils. Like any Silva Compass it is excellent with all the necessary scales etc plus a good long edge for setting course between two points. Although the main (outer) reading is in Mils there is also an inner graticule in degrees. My son has quickly adopted to it and I quite like using it too. It's well made, robust and easy to use with gloves on. In the right hands very accurate navigation is possible but of course in that respect its only as good as the person holding it! Review: Silva Compass 4 Mils - This is a quality brand compass and there were no issues with the item. The only issue I have is with the delivery as it was left in the 'STREET'! The desertcart delivery instructions as to the safe location where to leave it were crystal clear but still it was left in the Street at the front gate. Anyone could have just walked off with it. At least they would be able to navigate their way!!! ## Features - TRUSTED BY NATO FORCES - Silva Compass 4 is used by NATO forces around the world and is a full-sized base plate compass for experienced navigators.

You can check on Silva's website and it will explain the regions and which type you require. We only sell MN regions. **Q: Is it possible to adjust for declination?** A: These a counterfeit SILVA products, the bezel holding the compass is not filled with Oil, not even water, so the needle is erratic and I don’t trust it. Amazon offered a replacement but why replace a fake product with another fake product. Just avoid and buy from somewhere more reliable. **Q: does this item come with the lanyard?** A: Yes mind did. A green lanyard instead of the usual red lanyard. **Q: Is this a global compass? Or is the needle set for MN region?** A: The Silva 4 Militaire is not a global compass, unfortunately - you will need a version with a needle balanced for your destination - I hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent specilist compass *by C***R on 14 August 2011* This is a specialist piece of kit with the main reading in Mils that would be unsuitable for teaching beginners to navigate with and is not really necessary for the average hill walker for whom degrees are entirely adequate.

The Amazon delivery instructions as to the safe location where to leave it were crystal clear but still it was left in the Street at the front gate. Anyone could have just walked off with it. At least they would be able to navigate their way!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good compass wrong measurement system for me *by R***N on 26 October 2024* I bought this compass pre covid with a view to getting out and exploring more. No sooner had I bought the compass and then covid hit and I put the compass away I a drawer and forgot about it until now. Now it states clearly that its main measure is in mild rather than degrees but as a novice I did nt understand the significance. By all means go ahead and buy it if it is a mils compass reading you want but just be aware the degrees is very hard to read and I would advise a degrees measured compass. I am disappointed in the compass f or that reason alone but otherwise it is a quality product. Just no use to me I’m afraid so just take care that it’s what you want. ## Frequently Bought Together - Silva Compass 4 Militaire - 6400/360 - Silva Compass CASE Black, One Size - Coyote Brown Pace Counter Matte Black Veteran Made Ranger Beads --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48246260-compass-navigation-nr-4-graduated-in-mils-and-degrees-scale](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48246260-compass-navigation-nr-4-graduated-in-mils-and-degrees-scale) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
