It depends on where you are and the time.
The southern cross is a well known star configuration which can be seen from the southern hemisphere. The cross is used to navigate because it's angle is esilly identifiable by many. There are two bright stars just off from each other near the southern cross which are called the pointers. Theese are used to line up with the cross and determine the angle/direction.
People in the southern hemisphere often use the Southern Cross constellation to help determine the direction of south. This constellation is easily identifiable and can be used as a navigational tool since its orientation can point towards the south pole.
the southern cross constellation can be used to find south is once located the southern cross measure 5 1/2 times south east direction an you will find south . to see the picture which will help you find due south using the southern cross look under related link adn click om picture and the disgram should come up
The symbolism of a compass implies location and direction.
To find the Southern Cross constellation, first locate the constellation Crux, which is the smallest but most distinctive constellation in the southern sky. Look for a group of four bright stars in the shape of a cross. The two brightest stars in the cross point towards the South Celestial Pole, helping you determine the south direction.

A compass. The north, west, east, and south star thing.
EAST or WEST or SOUTH or NORTH?
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.

You can determine the direction on a map without a compass rose by using cardinal direction.

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.
its not why its just A diagram of a compass showing direction.

We need compass to know the direction we are going.
