How do I use a compass on the ocean?
1 Answer
To use a compass while on the ocean, hold the compass in front of you. One end of the needle will point toward north, and the other will face south. Determine where you are by examining the markings on the dial. You can then use a deviation card to chart your course. On 1stDibs, find a selection of compasses.
