I didn't know they still use the imperial system on maps and compasses. All the ones I have used to date are in metric, even the ones used by US soldiers.
@ImagineTheSeaView Hi. Yes, it depends on the map and compass though. U.S. Geological Survey topo maps use English units (feet and inches), and many compasses sold in the U.S. have English scales (or English on one side and metric on the other). U.S. Military topographic maps are indeed metric and they use mils instead of degrees for compass units.

Guys, there is a new navigation game specifically design for iPhone devices, called Matmon.
It provides you with an amazing outdoor experience!
The game is based on mission that you create directly on your iPhone!
Unlike similar products on the market - There is no need to load coordinates into your device, you even do not need to know what coordinates are.
You can also share your missions using Bluetooth with other iPhone devices (look for MATMON in the App Store or in Facebook)
