It is possible to cure a compass that is no longer pointing North. You must have a compass that is working to compare it to afterwards. Stroke the South pole towards the North pole on the compass, then repeat this vice-versa.
European explorers used the compass as a navigational tool to determine their direction when traveling by sea. By utilizing the magnetic properties of the Earth, the compass helped sailors maintain their course and avoid getting lost during long voyages.
The compass was important to explorers because it allowed them to navigate accurately by indicating magnetic North, ensuring they could maintain their direction even in unfamiliar territories where landmarks were not known. This helped them avoid getting lost and find their way back to known locations.
Before the compass, people navigated using natural landmarks, the position of celestial bodies (like the sun and stars), and by observing the wind and currents. It was a more challenging and less precise method of navigation, often leading to more frequent errors and getting lost.
The plural of compass is compasses, and the plural posessive is compasses'(referring to more than one compass).
