I know the modern preference is "I'll just use my phone...", well, maybe speak to Mountain Rescue teams around the World and ask them how many people they pull off Mountains with that attitude. Don't get me wrong, you use every tool available to you for good navigation but the basis of that kit should always start with a Map and Compass, oh, and knowing how to use them....

There are various different products in their range so there is definitely a perfect fit for everyone needing a good navigation tool.
