pocket compass
Portable north indicator
A pocket compass is a small magnetic compass designed to be carried on one's person—compact enough for a pocket, bag, or lanyard.
Traditionally used by hikers, scouts, and soldiers for basic navigation in the field.
The term distinguishes portable handheld compasses from larger instruments mounted on ships or surveying equipment.
