Is a directional indicator that either points north or all four directions?

A COMPASS? It points in normally two directions North and south. However the same end will always point towards north. Some compasses have 4 cardinal points on them and they will point in all four directions at once. but again the north and south are the ones that line up. East and west are just along for the ride. Other Directional indicator. Radio direction finders, wind vanes, etc. have all the operational properties of the compass but use different means to point with.
