Compass needles are permanent magnets. in response to the Earth's magnetic field, the compass needle will point toward the geographic North Pole.

What is true compasses?
They only point to the Magnetic NorthA compass is a permanent magnentA compass is a permanent magnet. A compass has both a south pole and a north pole. Compass magnets can be deflected by Earth's magnetic field or other permanent magnets.
Where does a compass point when it is moved close to a magnet?
That depends on which pole of the magnet it is moved close to. If it is brought close to the "South" pole of the magnet, the "North" pointer of the compass will be attracted to the magnet. If it is brought close to the "North" pole of the magnet, the "North" pointer of the compass will be repelled and will point AWAY from the magnet, while the "South" end of the compass pointer will point to the magnet.
What is the magnet in a compass?
The compass needle.
