It swings around the compass as you move, but the red end will always point in the direction of north and the white (or sometimes black) end will always point in the direction of south.

   • Hold Your Compass Steadily:Hold the compass so the baseplate is level, and the direction-of-travel arrow points away from your center of mass. You can check that it is working correctly by rotating your body.  The north-seeking arrow should stay pointing to magnetic north as the compass moves.  If it is not level, the arrow will not move freely.

   How do you know if a compass is right or left?

   • When reading a compass, and telling other people directions, you need to wipe "right" and "left" out of your vocabulary. Right and Left are relative directions and differ depending on your location and direction, but the cardinal points are constant. The direction halfway between North and East is an intercardinal point and is called NorthEast.
