Baseplate Compasses – Classic Rulers for Orienteering

Baseplate compasses – also known as rulers – are the classic choice for orienteering. They are easy to use, simple to understand, and provide a clear overview of the map. Many beginners, youth, and schools choose a baseplate compass as their first step into the sport.

At Letro, you’ll find a wide selection of orienteering baseplate compasses from trusted brands like Silva and Kanpas. We offer both entry-level models for beginners and more advanced baseplates with fast needles and stable capsules for training and competition.

The baseplate compass is especially suitable for navigation at a slower pace, such as in school sports, beginner courses, or recreational orienteering. Its flat design also makes it easy to place directly on the map and follow your direction.
