About the Compass

A compass is a navigation tool that helps you determine direction. It’s usually a small, circular device that has a rotating needle that points to the magnetic north.

Compasses are used by hikers, sailors, and explorers to help them find their way and stay on course. The base of the compass usually has markings for the cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west), which helps you determine your direction of travel.

Some compasses also have additional features like a ruler or a mirror, which can be useful for map reading or signaling for help.
