Does the black arrow on a compass point to the north or south?
It depends on a choice made by the person who made your compass; there's no universal standard. The easiest way to find out is to take the compass somewhere that you know which direction is north (at least to within 10 or 15 degrees), and see what way the arrow points.

Why is it important to take declination into account of you are traveling with a compass?
Unlike the geographic poles, which are always in the same place, the magnetic poles change location throughout the history of earth. So when using a compass to map or explore the Earth's surface, you need to make a correction for the difference between geographic nor and magnetic north.
How do you eliminate local attraction?
The local attraction are the error affecting device available at near by the compass while doing surveying. the local attraction is the effect of the magnetic materials on the compass and gets the incorrect bearing.
What will be deflection in compass needle of a magnet when a current carrying wire is placed over it?
The compass needle will turn until it's perpendicular to the wire, provided the current in the wire is enough to generate a magnetic field around the wire that's strong enough to swamp out the effects of the Earth's magnetic field. (That doesn't take much current.)
How do you take a bearing?
You take a bearing by pointing your compass at the target (or direction you want to go) and reading the number on the compass. There are 360 degrees in a circle, with East being at 90 degrees, South-East being 135 degrees, South being 180, West 270, North 360 (or zero) and etc. etc.
What are 3 major cities that are coordinates?
Any city or geographic location can be used as coordinates if you take the compass bearing of them. The reciprocal of those bearings could then be used to find your present location by a method called triangulation.
What is local attraction and how can we minimize its effect in compass surveying?
Local attraction refers to the effect of nearby magnetic objects on the accuracy of a compass survey. To minimize its impact, you can keep the compass away from metal objects, power lines, or electronic devices, take multiple readings and average them, or use a different type of compass like a gyrocompass which is less susceptible to local attraction.
What are the problems of using a magnetic compass at sea?
A magnetic compass can be influenced by surrounding metal. For instance, take a compass bearing when your pocket knife is in your breast pocket, too close to the compass, or there is an underground metal water pipe near by, may cause an error in your compass reading. Even magnetic (iron) rocks you are standing on, can cause a wrong reading. When taking a magnetic bearing, leave your metal framed rucksack to one side.

How do you replace front wheel bearing on 2007 Jeep Compass?
Remove the spindle from the car. You'll have to take off the axle nut, brake caliper, tie rod end, lower ball joint bolt, lower strut bolts and abs sensor to remove the spindle. Now you can take the spindle to a shop with the new bearing and have them install the bearing for you. Or you have access to a shop press you can do it yourself. Note: Shop presses can be dangerous! Press the wheel hub out of the spindle, then press the bearing out of the spindle. Pay close attention to the bearing you removed. (There is a magnetised side of the bearing and must be installed in the same way when putting the new bearing in. Magnet goes toward the sensor) Now reassemble the spindle in reverse order. That's the way I did it anyway. Good luck

How is GPS better than a compass?
A GPS uses satellites to show your exact position on a hand-held device. A compass point towards magnetic north, from which, using a map, you can take bearing of distant points to work out your position, or work out your direction of travel.Both are important tools to navigation - provided the GPS device's battery doesn't go flat!
