A compass rose is placed on a map to show which direction is true north. It usually also has pointers to the other 3 cardinal directions (east, west, and south) and sometimes to the directions between those four (northeast, southwest, etc.)

A compass rose cannot be shown in text-only WikiAnswers. A compass rose is the graphic on a map that shows the direction of North, South, East, and West in relation to the map, and sometimes also identifies other, intermediate directions such as "Northeast."

A compass rose shows what the directions are. It is usually found in a compass, in order for someone to find their way.
