| A compass is a navigational instrument for determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. |
| It consists of a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the North end) free to align itself with Earth's magnetic field. |
| The compass greatly improved the safety and efficiency of travel, especially ocean travel. |
| A compass can be used to calculate heading, used with a sextant to calculate latitude, and with a marine chronometer to calculate longitude. |
| It thus provides a much improved navigational capability that has only been recently supplanted by modern devices such as the Global Positioning System (GPS). |
| A compass is any magnetically sensitive device capable of indicating the direction of the magnetic north of a planet's magnetosphere |
