The most popular type of compass is the magnetic compass, which relies on a magnetic needle that aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. This means that the tip of the needle will always point north, while the opposite side will point south. These compasses also have a chart, called a directional dial, that shows the cardinal directions: N, S, E, and W.
Sub-directions are also indicated: NE (Northeast), SE (Southeast), SW (Southwest), NW (Northwest). Some compasses have degrees in addition to the main directions. North corresponds to zero degrees, and the angles move clockwise, meaning that East is 90 degrees, South is 180 degrees, and West is 270 degrees.
