It’s not a Compass as such, It's a Direction of travel indicator
It works on exactly the same principal as the one that Captain Jack Sparrow uses to navigate the Black Pearl
When you are driving the small Arrow head chevron, above the plus and minus signs points to your Direction of travel
If you imagine you are looking at a Paper Map of the World and your located in the UK
The North-Pole.... Is at the top & the arrow points Up
You're heading North
The South-Pole.... Is at the bottom & the arrow points Down
You're heading South
Canada.... Is on the Left (West) & the arrow points Left
You're heading West
China.... Is on the Right (East) & the arrow points Right
You're heading East
And obviously, all points of the compass in between, as in the example
Greenland....Is halfway between Up and Left & the arrow points 45 degrees between Up/Left
The arrow is pointing 45 degrees Up/Left
You're heading North West
