What is compass housing?
A compass housing is the frame within which a compass needle turns. The housing provides a stationary mechanical reference and also a protective enclosure within which the compass needle can pivot to align itself with the earth's magnetic field.
What is a True compass bearing?
The definition of a true compass bearing - A true bearing is measured in relation to the fixed horizontal reference plane of True North, that is using the direction towards the geographic North Pole as a reference point.
What compass bearing is south?
The definition of a true compass bearing - A true bearing is measured in relation to the fixed horizontal reference plane of True North, that is using the direction towards the geographic North Pole as a reference point.

What is a compass called?
A navigational device that measures directions in a frame of reference that is stationary relative to the surface of the earth. The frame of reference defines the four cardinal directions - north, south, east, and west.
What are the aims and objectives of compass survey?
The aims of a compass survey are to determine the magnetic bearing of a line and to set out accurate directions on the field. Its objectives include establishing a reference direction, determining the magnetic declination, and providing a basis for orienting maps and conducting navigation activities.
What is a true compasses?
The definition of a true compass bearing - A true bearing is measured in relation to the fixed horizontal reference plane of True North, that is using the direction towards the geographic North Pole as a reference point.
What is a direction indicator?
A directional indicator is usually an arrow (or a compass rose) printed on a map which indicates the orientation of the map in reference to the cardinals N-S-E-W. North is by far the most common; on a North referenced map, North would be top center (although this is relative to how one holds the map) ;-)
