If you could....what would it be??
Mine would be based on the Silva Exped 4.
Get rid of the 1:63 Romer and loose the cm/mm scale on the end.
Degrees not Mils, put the mm/cm ruler on the long side (instead of the inches currently on that side).
Loose the hole through the baseplate (whats that for anyway?).
Fatter needle, and a chunkier Needle housing (For when I have gloves on).
In reply to James G: The only time when that would be useful is when copying courses down at an orienteering event. However as most maps for events are pre-printed now it not usually needed and I don't know who would bother to take the time to draw circles that neatly anyway...
My compass would be digital, linked to satalites, show current location rid reference, and would enable me to program my planned route into it. Could just be a pipe dream though....

Have a 1:25, 1:50 and 1:40 Romer.....
Put the 1:25 right along the end of the baseplate?
What else??
