The Tru-Nord Story

Made in America for Over 60 Years

The Tru-Nord Compass has been manufactured, assembled and packaged in Brainerd, Minnesota for over 60 years. Mr. Vern Budlong, the inventor, said: "After 20 years of research I believe Tru-Nord Compass is unsurpassed as the most accurate and dependable compensated compass ever manufactured."

The Tru-Nord Compass is rugged

The Tru-Nord Compass is manufactured on precision lathes from solid 1-1/16" brass rod. The jeweled movement floats on a polished tapered pinnacle, covered by a Lexan® lens. The brass cover ring is then threaded to the brass case for a watch-type seal, making the Tru-Nord Compass truly water and shock resistant.
