EXPLORER magnetic compasses by RITCHIE are measuring tools that use the magnetization of the earth to determine magnetic north. They are often used in navigation to help determine which direction to head. Magnetic compasses have a magnetized needle that points to magnetic north when used correctly.

They are also used in geometry and technical drawing to draw circles and arcs of various sizes. Magnetic calipers are a must for anyone working in geometry, navigation or technical drawing, as they allow for accurate measuring and drawing.
