Consequently, most thumb compasses have minimal or no degree markings at all, and are normally used only to orient the map to magnetic north.he magnetic compass was first invented as a device for divination as early as the Chinese Han Dynasty (since about 206 BC), and later adopted for navigation by the Song Dynasty Chinese during the 11th century. The use of a compass is recorded in Western Europe and in Persia around the early 13th century.
