About Travel Compass Makers

Crafting precision navigation instruments since 1998

Travel Compass Makers has been the premier manufacturer of precision navigation instruments for over 25 years. Founded in 1998 by master craftsman Robert Harrison, our company emerged from a passion for outdoor exploration and the critical need for reliable navigation tools.

Our journey began when Robert, an experienced mountaineer and marine navigator, recognized the lack of truly dependable compass instruments in the market. After years of research and development, he created our first professional-grade compass that would withstand extreme conditions while maintaining perfect accuracy.

Today, we serve outdoor enthusiasts, marine professionals, surveyors, and adventure seekers across 47 countries. Each compass is meticulously handcrafted in our Colorado facility using premium materials including aircraft-grade aluminum, sapphire jewel bearings, and military-specification luminous compounds.

Our commitment extends beyond manufacturing. We provide comprehensive navigation training, compass calibration services, and lifetime support for every instrument we create. Our master craftsmen undergo 3 years of specialized training, ensuring each compass meets our exacting standards for accuracy, durability, and reliability.
