A compass is a device commonly used to determine cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest). It works by aligning with the Earth's magnetic field to provide accurate orientation information.

Is there a compass rose on every map?
Not necessarily. Some maps, particularly modern electronic maps, may not have a compass rose as the orientation is determined by the device. Traditional paper maps often feature a compass rose to indicate directions.
How do you use MAPQUEST?
To use MapQuest, go to the website or download the app on your mobile device. Enter your starting point and destination to get detailed driving directions, maps, and estimated travel time. You can also customize your route by adding stops or choosing different transportation modes like walking or cycling.
Which cartographic device when deployed on a map will tell you its scale?
A scale bar is a cartographic device that is typically included on a map to show the relationship between distances on the map and actual distances on the Earth's surface. This allows users to determine the size and dimensions of features represented on the map.
What changes the date as well as hours?
Changing the time zone or daylight saving time settings on a device can affect both the date and hours displayed. Additionally, manually adjusting the date and time settings on a device can also impact both the date and hours shown.
What is the difference between a thermometer and a thermograph?
A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature at a specific point in time, typically by using a liquid or digital display. A thermograph, on the other hand, is a device that continuously records and graphs temperature over a period of time, providing a visual representation of temperature fluctuations.
What do you called a device for determining cardinal and intermediate directions?
compass rose
What is an instrument that helps sailors and travelers find the cardinal directions?
That device would be a compass!
What is an instrument that help sailors and other travelers find the cardinal directions?
That device would be a compass!
What is a compass called?
A navigational device that measures directions in a frame of reference that is stationary relative to the surface of the earth. The frame of reference defines the four cardinal directions - north, south, east, and west.
Is a compass rose and a compass the same?
No, a compass is a navigational instrument that helps determine direction. A compass rose, on the other hand, is a figure on a map or nautical chart that displays the orientation of the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and intermediate directions.
What device is considered as a intermediate device?
Device
What are the types of connections for intermediate and end device connections in a LAN?
toast
What is bidirectional device?
In electronics, bidirectional device is device which can be used by both directions like resistor. It does not effect on characteristics of device if we change the terminals of that device.
What is unidirectional device?
A device which operates(or function) only in one direction is called unidirectional (or unipolar) device
Which device sHow is the direction on a map?
A compass rose shows the directions on a map.
What is the name for the device that changes the direction of the current?
A device that changes the direction of the current is called a "switch" or a "reversing switch." This device allows for the current to flow in different directions as needed.
What is the purpose and function of network layer of the osi model?
is responsible for packet forwading include routing through intermediate device
