🧭 Silva Clear Demonstration Compass — Oversized Teaching Model
The perfect classroom tool for teaching real navigation
The Silva Clear Demonstration Compass is an oversized, transparent replica of a baseplate compass designed specifically for teaching, training and group instruction. At more than twice the size of a normal compass, it allows instructors to clearly show bearings, direction-of-travel, needle movement and dial alignment so everyone can see exactly what’s happening.
This is an essential tool for schools, Scouts, outdoor education, bushwalking clubs and search & rescue training.
Important: This is a non-magnetic demonstration model — it is designed for teaching, not field navigation.
🎓 Built for Teaching, Not Guessing
Because it’s large, clear and fully visible, the Silva Demonstration Compass makes learning easy:
-
Students can see the needle, dial and direction arrow move
-
Teachers can place it directly over a map for demonstrations
-
Everyone can follow along during bearing and grid alignment lessons
No squinting. No confusion. Just clear, visual learning.
