A compass uses a magnetic needle that always points toward magnetic north. The compass dial is typically marked with the 360-degree system, where 0° or 360° represents north, 90° is east, 180° is south, and 270° is west.With this, campers and hikers can determine their heading relative to north, ensuring they can navigate from one point to another even in areas with no obvious landmarks.Analog Compass: A traditional, magnetic compass with a rotating bezel, needle, and dial that shows directions and degrees. These are often lightweight and simple to use.Digital Compass: A modern version that uses electronic sensors to determine the direction and typically includes a digital display, offering extra features such as altitude or temperature readings.Baseplate Compass: A compact compass with a flat, transparent baseplate, often used for orienteering. It allows you to align maps with the compass for accurate navigation.
