The compass provides:
- A horizontal display of your current compass bearing in degrees. Significant bearings are noted in large text such as the NW in this image indicating North-West. The compass rotates left and right. It is positioned to be unobtrusive and allow the maximum space for the Map.

- The small red Error Bar shows the compass error reported by iOS which in this example is +/- 4 degrees.
The compass can be used to control KayakNav as follows:
