🧭 KanPas Map Board Compass β€” Clip-On (Southern Hemisphere)

Fast. Clear. Built for Australian navigation.

Designed for precision navigation on the move, the KanPas Map Board Compass clips securely to your map board, giving you an always-visible, always-accurate heading while you ride, run or navigate. With its clear dial, fast-settling needle and luminous markings, this compact compass is a favourite for mountain bike orienteering, rogaining and adventure racing.

Balanced for the Southern Hemisphere, it delivers stable, trustworthy bearings across Australia and New Zealand β€” exactly what serious navigators demand.


🎯 Purpose-Built for Map Board Navigation

This is not a wrist or handheld compass β€” it’s engineered specifically for map boards:

  • Clip-On Design β€” locks firmly to your map board so your heading is always in view

  • Clear Dial β€” see your map, grid lines and bearings without obstruction

  • Fast & Stable Needle β€” settles quickly and stays steady, even while moving at speed

  • Hands-Free Navigation β€” perfect for MTB orienteering, rogaining and adventure racing

You keep your focus on the terrain while the compass keeps you on course.


πŸŒ™ Ready for Low-Light Conditions

The KanPas Map Board Compass includes luminous markings, allowing you to read bearings in:

  • Dawn and dusk

  • Forest shade

  • Night events and rogaines

No head-torch glare, no guesswork β€” just clean, readable navigation.


🌏 Southern Hemisphere Accuracy

Every KanPas Map Board Compass we sell is a true MS (Magnetic South) model, which means:

  • The needle is balanced for Australia & New Zealand

  • Bearings are accurate

  • The needle stays level and stable

Using a Northern Hemisphere compass here leads to tilted needles and poor accuracy β€” something this compass avoids entirely.
