A compass is used to show direction on a map. It indicates the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and helps orient the map to match the real-world direction.
To use the direction auxiliary indication on the Kikkerland survival tool, align the compass needle with the orientation of the map. Then rotate the entire tool until the N (North) arrow lines up with the needle. The direction indicated by the arrow on the tool will show which way you are facing on the map.
North is always at the top of the map, East on the left, south at the botom, and West on the right.
A weather vane, also known as a wind vane, is a tool that shows the direction the wind is blowing. It typically consists of a freely rotating arrow that points into the direction from which the wind is coming.
A compass rose is used to indicate the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) on a map. To use it, align the compass rose on the map with the corresponding cardinal direction, and then use it as a reference point to determine the direction of other geographic features.
A diagram of air pressure could be represented on a weather map. This map would use isobars - lines that connect areas with the same atmospheric pressure - to show areas of high and low pressure. The spacing of the isobars indicates the strength of the pressure gradient, which affects wind speed and direction.
To use the direction auxiliary indication on the Kikkerland survival tool, align the compass needle with the orientation of the map.

A compass. The north, west, east, and south star thing.
North is always at the top of the map, East on the left, south at the botom, and West on the right.
Political map.
They use a map.
Every map needs a compass rose on it to tell direction.
Actually there is no difference in which side do you keep your compass as long it is going to show the north direction in any other side of the map. Usually there is a small print in the maps (left side/right side depends of the print) which shows the direction of north in the certain map position. So What you have to do is to use compass to get the right direction.
To learn the direction you are going and to identify your location.
A compass is a great tool for navigation because you can use it by itself to head in a straight line or just know what direction is which. If you use a map with a compass then you can use triangulation. This is where you orientate the map and then find three points and draw a line from them towards you based on their direction from the compass. This will tell you where you are and from this you can determine the direction to travel. All of this though was replaced with the invention of the GPS. This is a link about triangulation but they have images which might help understand better http://www.ussartf.org/compass_basics.htm.
