For one thing, cellphone and GPS service often drop out in mountainous regions such as ours, and have you ever been told "go southwest" by your navigation app when in the middle of a vast parking lot? Gee, I wonder what direction that would be? You fiddle with your phone for the compass app, you look to see where the sun is in the sky... now we can just look at the compass. Review: Fabulous compass! - This is the best compass that is available. Did not need any adjustment due to built in compensators. Fabulous construction and design. Now used on a brand new vehicle that did not have a compass. ## Features - Powerful DirectiveForce Magnets for Fast Heading Lock-on - Movable Sun Shield - 100% Repairable - High Temperature Composite Construction for Extended Operating Range - Compact Low-Profile Design ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001449AC0 | | Additional Features | Portable | | Best Sellers Rank | #302,169 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #35 in Boat Compasses #2,073 in Electronics & Gadgets | | Brand | Ritchie | | Brand Name | Ritchie | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 320 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00010342160416 | | Included Components | S-53 Ritchie Navigation Explorer Compass 2 3/4-Inch Dial with Surface Mount, Black | | Item Dimensions L x W | 6"L x 6"W | | Item Type Name | S-53 Ritchie Navigation Explorer Compass 2 3/4-Inch Dial with Surface Mount, Black | | Item Weight | 0.65 Pounds | | Manufacturer | United Sporting Company | | Manufacturer Part Number | S-53 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | S-53 | | Mounting Type | surface mount | | Product Dimensions | 6"L x 6"W | | Special Feature | Portable | | UPC | 010342160416 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ritchie Navigation - **Material:** Plastic - **Item Weight:** 10.4 ounces - **Product Dimensions:** 2.75"L x 2.75"W - **Special Feature:** Portable ## Images ![S-53 Ritchie Navigation Explorer Compass 2 3/4-Inch Dial with Surface Mount, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sQUmyLbNL.jpg) ![S-53 Ritchie Navigation Explorer Compass 2 3/4-Inch Dial with Surface Mount, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DO1TDohYL.jpg) ![S-53 Ritchie Navigation Explorer Compass 2 3/4-Inch Dial with Surface Mount, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51W9aMSJR+L.jpg) ![S-53 Ritchie Navigation Explorer Compass 2 3/4-Inch Dial with Surface Mount, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q16mV-sSL.jpg) ![S-53 Ritchie Navigation Explorer Compass 2 3/4-Inch Dial with Surface Mount, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mJBXynMIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great, and is a great help *by C***F on August 29, 2023* Doing rural deliveries of agricultural goods in our van is made vastly more reliable and enjoyable by having a good compass on the dash. For one thing, cellphone and GPS service often drop out in mountainous regions such as ours, and have you ever been told "go southwest" by your navigation app when in the middle of a vast parking lot?

Did not need any adjustment due to built in compensators. Fabulous construction and design. Now used on a brand new vehicle that did not have a compass. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice compass; Works well *by T***Z on September 5, 2019* I have two of these. Bought them both at the same time. One is mounted on my console, the other on my bow. I like them just fine except for ONE thing: I do NOT like is how easy the compass can be removed from it's base. Just press both the super handy little "knobs" (one on each side of the compass) and it pops off the base. The bow mount one is especially vulnerable to a covetous passer-by. ALSO, in some fairly rough water, the boat bounce popped the bow compass off the base. Thankfully it bounced into the boat instead of into the water. I'm going to be tape the compass to the base before my next fishing trip. I wish I had noticed this model had the "easy removal" feature. I would have not bought them. It's my own fault tho, and I can deal with it. ## Frequently Bought Together - S-53 Ritchie Navigation Explorer Compass 2 3/4-Inch Dial with Surface Mount, Black - Cobra MR HH350 FLT Handheld Floating VHF Radio - 6 Watt, Submersible, Noise Cancelling Mic, Backlit LCD Display, NOAA Weather, and Memory Scan, Grey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/2383242-s-53-ritchie-navigation-explorer-compass-2-3-4-inch](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/2383242-s-53-ritchie-navigation-explorer-compass-2-3-4-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
