Geo Lite™ Transit
A baseplate compass that works like a transit! This geology-specific mirrored baseplate compass is ideal for students and field geologists in need of a lightweight compass with transit features and functionality. Geologic measurements can be made using traditional strike & dip methods or dip & dip direction configurations. With two clinometers and a protractor on the clear baseplate, the Geo Lite™ is a versatile and lightweight tool for field mapping.
Magnetic Zones: The Geo Lite™ features a disc magnet that is optimized into three zones. Please visit the Needle Balancing Page to identify your main zone and select it below.
