The direction of magnetic flux or lines of force is from north polarity to south polarity, and a compass needle will always align with that direction, wherever it is used. Since the magnetic polarity of the location we call Magnetic North is a south, a compass needle will point in that direction.
No. The true north pole and the magnetic north pole are in different locations. The compass will point at the magnetic north pole. If you happened to be somewhere between the two north poles, the compass will point exactly backwards!
a compass rose is importantto amap if your amapping a route of figuring coordinations to keep everything uniform and pointing perfectly in the direction you want in proportion to the rest of the world.
North is always at the top of the map, East on the left, south at the botom, and West on the right.
If you are standing on the magnetic north pole, the needle will want to point down. If you are standing on the geographical North Pole, the needle will point South. From the North Pole, every direction is "South"!
Its ovious why a compass points in different directions. For example, if your going north, the compass points north because your going that direction. Theres also a magnet concealed in the compass. How does the compass know what direction yoiur going. Earth it self is a magnet. When you head that direction, it will point
magnetic north.
The term "compass direction" means a direction shown by a magnetic compass, one whose needle will be drawn to a north-south alignment. When at a location and facing a certain direction, the "compass direction" is the one at the top (front) of the moving compass rose. If a location is in that direction, it is the indicated compass direction from the current point.On a map, the direction from one point to another is indicated by the up-down and left-right line between the points, and the compass directions are indicated by a compass rose on the map.

The compass needle will point north-south.
A compass. The north, west, east, and south star thing.
The point on the compass your 'plane is heading for
The thing that leads Jack to what he most desires, is his compass. His compass will point in the direction of what he desires so he may find it. Many characters in the movies think that his compass is broken because it does not point to an actual navigational direction like North, or West.
A compass rose is the name given to the face of a compass on which the points and direction names are printed. Some compasses rotate the whole compass rose, with direction read off a fixed point in the housing. Other compasses have a fixed compass rose and use a free spinning magnetic needle on a pivot to point towards magnetic north.
a freely suspended magnetic needle as it will always point to the north - south direction
the needle points in the direction the magnetic fields wish. The gravity pulls the compass nearer and nearer the magnetic fields.
A compass is an instrument containing a freely suspended magnetic element which displays the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the point of observation.
