The compass needle points toward the north magnetic pole. That place is close enough to the earth's geographic north pole so that over much of the. earth, the magnetic compass indication can be a useful approximation of true north.
To read your compass, 1  Hold your compass steadily in your hand so the baseplate is level and the direction-of-travel arrow is pointing straight away from you. 2  Hold it about halfway between your face and waist in a comfortable arm position with your elbow bent and compass held close to your stomache.ince there IS a need for more precise directions, the circle of a compass face is split into 360 marks called degrees. For rough directions, go ahead and use North or NorthWest. But, for finding your way or locating destinations in the wild, use degrees as you'll see in a bit.
