a compass
The weather tool that measures wind direction is called a weather vane or wind vane. It typically consists of a rotating arrow or pointer that aligns with the direction from which the wind is blowing.
there is a compass rose and a legend that shows what a symbol means.
A wind vane is used to indicate the direction of the wind. It has a pointer that aligns itself with the direction from which the wind is blowing. This information is useful for sailors, farmers, meteorologists, and anyone interested in knowing wind direction.
A compass is used to show direction on a map. It indicates the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and helps orient the map to match the real-world direction.
To use the direction auxiliary indication on the Kikkerland survival tool, align the compass needle with the orientation of the map. Then rotate the entire tool until the N (North) arrow lines up with the needle. The direction indicated by the arrow on the tool will show which way you are facing on the map.
It would seem you cannot. However, you can select the "move" tool (up/down/left/right blue arrow tool) and it will work like a pointer. I agree, even of the functionality of the "move" tool and the regular pointer are virtually identical, the context is different and a regular pointer tool option would be a welcome addition for many.
magnetized
take the plastic bit of the tool and then rub any magnet against the tool for about 1 to 2 minutes and the tool will then become magnetized, you can do this with any screw driver or tool you want
It is an instrument for finding wind direction. They are usually found on the top of church spires, or tall building. They can have various shapes, but all have an arrow which points into the wind direction. The tail of the vane may have something like, ship. or farmer with a scythe etc., to balance the vanes pointer against the wind flow. Do Not confuse with an 'Ananometer', which measures wind speed.
