Taking a Bearing
Release the lock, hold the compass level and keep it clear of steel benches, magnets and current-carrying wires. When the needle settles, turn the case until the N on the dial sits under the north-seeking end; every other direction can then be read straight off the dial. Lock the needle again before closing the lid, so the pivot is not knocked about in a bag.
Magnetic North and Magnetic Fields
The needle lines up with the Earth’s magnetic field, so it points to magnetic north, which differs from true north by the local declination. Placed beside a bar magnet, the same needle shows the direction of the magnet’s field at that spot, and its north-seeking end turns towards the magnet’s south pole.
