A compass rose shows the direction of north and other directions on the map.Such arrows usually mark the direction of magnetic, or true, or grid north, depending on the type of map used.
It depends on a choice made by the person who made your compass; there's no universal standard. The easiest way to find out is to take the compass somewhere that you know which direction is north (at least to within 10 or 15 degrees), and see what way the arrow points.
The symbol known for showing direction on a map is called a compass rose. It consists of two lines which intersect at right angles, the tip of each having one of the letters showing direction, N, S, E, or W.
Equal to the G-M angle
It automatically points to magnetic north unless it is influenced by some other magnetic source.
it is used for you to find north. the arrow that stays in a direction points north
The symbol that shows direction with an arrow towards North with the letter 'N' (for North) is called a north arrow. It is mostly shown in a cruciform (in the form of a cross)
North, South, Eater West. Nothest, Nothwest, Southeast, Southwest. The arrow. Compass rose.
Both a compass rose and a north arrow will show direction.

Half of the needle is painted red to indicate the direction of North. The red orienting arrow is marked on the floor of the housing. It rotates with the housing when the dial is turned. You use it to orient a compass to a map.
The arrow in a compass is magnetic and is being pulled the magnetic force from the north pole. Hope it helped:) btw, I'm a fifth grader:) :)

it points to the north pole, and yes you can change it by moving a magnet over it
The symbol on a map that shows directions is called a compass rose. It typically consists of four main points - north, east, south, and west - to indicate the cardinal directions, along with intermediate points.
