Assume for the sake of the illustration that the compass' N pointer is pointing to true north. Facing due south and holding the compass as you ordinarily would, the N pointer would be pointing straight to your spine. If you turn to the left by 45 degrees (to the south east) the N pointer will, relatively speaking, 'turn' to the left by 45 degrees; it will be pointing to your left side, or possibly right past you on the left.
What else can I help you with?
If there was a magnet beside a compass would the compass point to the north or south?
If there is a magnet beside a compass, the compass needle would be influenced by the magnetic field of the magnet rather than Earth's magnetic field. The needle would point towards the opposite pole of the magnet, so if the magnet's north pole is beside the compass, the compass needle would point towards the south.
What direction do southeast winds blow from?
Wind direction is always given as the direction from which it is blowing. If there is a southeast wind, it is coming from the southeast, and facing "into it" would have you facing southeast. Many meteorologists will clarify this by saying "winds are out of the southeast."

What would happen to travelers relying on a compass if they traveled in an area with a large magnetite deposit?
Travelers relying on a compass in an area with a large magnetite deposit may experience compass interference due to the magnetic properties of magnetite. This could cause the compass to give inaccurate readings, leading travelers to navigate in the wrong direction. To mitigate this issue, travelers should cross-check their navigation using other methods such as landmarks or GPS.
Why is an electromagnet not use in compass?
An electromagnet in a compass would be influenced by Earth's magnetic field, making the compass less accurate. Additionally, the power source needed for the electromagnet would make the compass less reliable in various conditions, such as when the power source is unavailable or if it fails. Traditional compasses use a magnetized needle that aligns with Earth's magnetic field for consistent and reliable navigation.

What is a Boxing compass?
"Boxing the compass" is the act of reciting the 32 principal points of the compass. It was a necessary skill of all mariners before the mid1930's. Up until this time, ship's officers would give the helmsman orders to "steer south-east by south" for example. On board a modern ship, the equivalent order would be "steer one-four-six degrees." So, to box the compass, start at north and work clock-wise. North, north by east, north-northeast, north-east by north, north-east, northeast by east, east-northeast, east by north, east, east by south, east-southeast, southeast by east, southeast, southeast by south, south-southeast, south by east south, south by west, south-southwest, southwest by south, southwest, southwest by west, west-southwest, west by south west, west by north, west-northwest, northwest by west, northwest, northwest by north, north-northwest, north by west, north. 151.88°157.50°163.12° NNW NbW
