South and east
a compass uses magnets to point north, whereas a compass rose is used on a map to direct north, south, east, and west. to my knowledge a compass rose is only used on a map.
if your facing north, the compass needle will point to the N on you compass, along with south (S), west (W) and east (E). also, northeast(NE), southeast(SE), northwest (NW), southwest(SW).AnswerA compass points to the location called Magnetic North.
Toward magnetic north, which is not right at the north pole. Magnetic north changes position, so this is not exact, but your compass would point roughly toward 83 degrees north 116 degrees west.
An 8-point compass rose indicates the directions: * north * south * east * west * northeast * northwest * southeast * southwest
The straight line between these two point has has a direction of "west north west". On a compass it is approximately 67 degrees to the west of north.
