Eurohike Map Measurer

Product Information

A valuable piece of kit you will not want to forget when embarking on your next expedition adventure. This item is quite expensive for a map measurer, especially if you simply want to check walking distances on 1:25000 maps. Englishman Edward Russell Morris, of the Morris Patents Engineering Works, High Street, Birmingham, began manufacture of his ‘Patent Chartometer’ in the 1870s, the design being patented in 1873.

Chinese unbranded knock-offs of Silva products are inaccurate, cheaply made and often fail to work too quickly.The distance calculator will then display a measurement of the length in feet, meters, miles and kilometers. Three Points of the Compass sets out on a winter wander from London to Birmingham along the Grand Union Canal. Their titanium Siphon has its faults, but these are mostly balanced out by simplicity, small size, light weight, robustness and performance.

Beyond simple calipers, the earliest of map measurers, or opisometers, were very simple affairs indeed- little wheels on a threaded spindle that could be pushed along a line. Cheap versions were given away at petrol stations, or combined into all-singing all-dancing measurer/compass/thermometers made in China by the thousand.

Thx for thouse whoever made this service - I use it for my jogging-for-distance practise and checking km done. Whether you are on a day hike or a holiday with planned daily target stages you can measure your distance with the Silva Map Measurer Path. The rangefinder allows you to quickly calculate the distance by measuring the distance between two points on the map. These flexible and stretch resistant measures are good enough as a rough indicator of distance while on trail.A Chinese knock-off of a Silva measurer was inaccurate but was able to offer measurements in quantums of feet, inches, yards, meters, cms. I would prefer to switch the item off completely to save battery use as an item such as this sits in a draw for a good part of the year. So I dismounted that spindle and measuring wheel and put small drop of glue inside of measuring wheel and than assemble it back. You run a little wheel along a route, a path, a road, a river, a line on a drawing, then either read off the result or measure against a standard.
