Mirrored compass with improved sighting window

A mirrored compass comprising

• a base member;
• a cover hinged to the base member, the cover comprising a minor and a sighting window for sighting a land mark or the like;
• and
• a vial assembly pivotally coupled to said base member,
• the mirror being located on a side of the cover facing the vial assembly,
• the sighting window being positioned to a side of the minor,
• the vial assembly comprising:
• a vial;
• a magnetized indicator member journaled in the vial;
• and
• an azimuth ring,
• wherein at least parts of inner sides of the sighting window are tapered in a line of sight (LS) so that the line of sight can be adjusted at least by moving the compass relative to the line of sight so that a non-parallaxed line of sight is achieved, and
• wherein the cover can be angularly positioned relative to the base member, so that the vial assembly is mirrored in the minor and the line of sight LS through the sighting window allows a user to sight the land mark or the like through the sighting window and simultaneously regard the reflection of the vial, the indicator member and the azimuth ring of the vial assembly in the mirror, and
• wherein the sighting window has at least two opposed inner sides that are of different contrasting colors.
