Customer comment:
"I have used the Brunton digital map measurer and the Scalex map wheel and
there is no real comparison. As an engineer and an amateur cartographer I was
looking for a professional grade digital map measuring tool and I have tried
everything that I could find. The Brunton is OK but is more like a toy with too
many features like a light, compass and calculator that are to small to be of
any real value. I also had dependability issues with the Brunton. In fact I always
had two of them on hand because out in the field I could not trust them. The
Scalex is a few dollars more but it is well worth the extra cost."
