Pick the pocket compass when students mainly need to find and name directions and the compass will travel in bags on field trips; the cover and needle lock are there for exactly that. Choose the orienteering compass for detailed map work, the lensatic compass for sighting bearings, and the plotting compass for tracing magnetic fields in physics.
What Is the Pocket Compass Used For?
A covered pocket compass is a straightforward tool for school direction work. Students hold it flat, release the needle lock, wait for the needle to settle, and turn the compass until the north end of the needle lines up with N on the dial; the marked compass points then give the cardinal directions — north, east, south and west — and the points in between, and the degree graduations let older students read and record a direction as a bearing. It is used in primary and middle-school geography lessons on directions and maps, on field trips and nature walks, and in scouting and guiding activities.
Close the cover and lock the needle before the compass goes back into a bag, so the needle and its pivot are protected in transit. Read it away from steel desks, magnets and mobile phones, which pull the needle off magnetic north.
What to Specify When Ordering

- Export details — destination country and port or city, delivery terms and any labelling needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this pocket compass?
It is a 45 mm diameter compass.
How is the dial marked?
It is graduated in degrees, and the compass points are marked, so it can be read either as a direction (such as north-east) or as a bearing in degrees.
What does the needle lock do?
The locking mechanism holds the needle still while the compass is carried, and together with the hinged cover it protects the compass during transportation. Release the lock before taking a reading.
Is this compass suitable for map work?
It is suited to finding directions and orienting a map roughly to north. For detailed bearing work on a map, the orienteering compass, with its base plate, magnifier and declination metric scale, is the better fit.
What information do you need for an export quotation?
The quantity, the destination country and port or city, preferred delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, any packing or labelling requirements, and a tender reference if the order is for a tender.
Who makes this pocket compass?
It is manufactured by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of educational science and geography equipment in India, incorporated in 2017 and operating from Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. JLab makes this pocket compass at its own works rather than reselling a trader’s stock, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy direct from the factory; each compass is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders come back to the same manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and has buyers in every region — Australia in Oceania, the UAE in the Middle East, Hungary in Eastern Europe, Ecuador in South America and Libya in North Africa, for instance. Schools ordering through a tender can see the JLab lab tenders page.
