A is small drawing of arrows that shows directions on a map?

Answer 1

Oh honey, that's not a drawing, that's a symbol called a compass rose. It's like the GPS of old-school maps, telling you which way is north, south, east, and west. So next time you see those little arrows pointing every which way, just remember it's not a doodle, it's a helpful guide to keep you from getting lost.

Answer 2

The term you are referring to is a "compass rose." A compass rose is a small drawing on a map that indicates the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and sometimes intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest). It helps orient the viewer and understand the orientation of the map in relation to the real-world directions.

Answer 3

The "direction arrow" or a compass rose usually indicates direction on a map. The compass rose usually displays cardinal direction. The direction arrow, however, points to the north only. It can have many "norths" such as true north, magnetic north, and grid north.

Answer 4

A compass rose shows the direction of north and other directions on the map.

Such arrows usually mark the direction of magnetic, or true, or grid north, depending on the type of map used.

Answer 5

A compass rose, sometimes called a windrose, or Rose of the Winds, is a figure on a compass, map, nautical chart, or monument used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions: North, East, South, and West-and their intermediate points.

Answer 6

If the arrow just points to the direction of North on the map, it can be called a North Arrow. If it shows all directions, it may be called a Compass Rose.
