The 1:24,000 and 1:25,000 scales allow you to divide a 1km map grid with 10m precision. The 1:50,000 scale allows you to divide a 1km map grid with 20m precision. The tool also has a compass rose along its outside edge marked in degrees. This makes plotting or measuring a bearing a snap. The small size of this tool will allow you to keep it handy in your pocket. We also have this tool with a compass rose marked in mils, or 90* quadrants. A band of white ink around the edge of the tool makes reading the compass rose easier and also keeps the tool from “disappearing” when you place it on the map. There is also a lanyard hole in the upper left corner. Printed on clear plastic stock, the tool is about the thickness of a credit card. The ink is coated to protect it from abrasion.

Review: Great product, great vendor, great price. - A+ on both the product and the vendor. I'll definitely be buying more from MapTools in the future! I was initially referred here by a Dirty Civilian YouTube video, where I saw this protractor being used. This video included a couple of tricks that I've found useful: 1) pull one strand from a piece of 550 Paracord and thread it through this protractor, tying a knot in each end to keep it in place. Just pull it taught and align it with the angle you want on the protractor to project an angle all the way across a larger map. 2) the little "rite in the rain" 3x5 notepad works well for land nav notes, and is the perfect size to store the MapTools pocket protractor while keeping it safe and flat, by folding a page to make a little pocket as pictured. Not only is this tool perfect for my needs, but the vendor included several instructional and practice sheets AND a *customized* declination sheet printed on waterproof paper that shows the declination for the specific zip code in my shipping address. None of this was even mentioned in the listing, and as low as this tool was priced, was completely unexpected. Thank you! Review: Great tool and highly recommend. - This company really did great with the information enclosed. It is really informative and even if you haven't mapped with this method before it's easy to learn from information inside.

The material is not brittle, but rather stiff and flexible. It is very similar to the thickness and flexibility of a credit card. **Q: Is this tool compatible with the 7.5 minute Quadrangle Topo's?** A: Yes. The USGS 7.5 minute topos are almost all 1:24,000 scale maps, a few are 1:25,000. This tool has both scales. Be sure to use the scale on the tool that matches the map you are using. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, great vendor, great price. *by N***K on September 18, 2025* A+ on both the product and the vendor.
