🚀 Built for High-Speed Navigation
Every element of the Spike Jet Zoom is designed to keep you moving fast and precise:
-
Jet 2.0 Needle — ultra-fast settling with exceptional stability, even while running
-
Extended Orienteering Lines — lock the compass to the map grid for pinpoint accuracy
-
Large Magnifying Lens — zoom in on fine map detail, contours and control points
-
Grip-Friendly Baseplate — stays secure in wet, cold or sweaty conditions
Whether you’re racing or navigating complex terrain, this compass keeps your focus exactly where it belongs — on the map.
📏 Six Built-In Map Scales — No Guesswork
The Spike Jet Zoom features a unique detachable scale slider system at the tip of the baseplate.
You receive 3 reversible scale sliders, giving six different map scales:
-
1:40,000
-
1:15,000
-
1:10,000
-
1:7,500
-
1:4,000
-
1:3,000
This makes it ideal for everything from traditional topo maps to high-detail orienteering sheets. Built-in stencil holes allow you to mark start points, controls and routes directly on the map.
🧭 360° Rotating Capsule
The capsule rotates smoothly through a full 360°, with:
-
Clear degree graduations
-
N, E, S, W cardinal markings
-
High-contrast reference lines
This allows fast, precise bearing setting and effortless tracking while on the move.
