A compass rose is a figure on a map or nautical chart that displays the orientation of the cardinal directions—north, east, south, and west—as well as intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest). It provides a visual reference to understand direction and navigation. Typically, the compass rose is depicted as a circular design, with the directions often labeled and the north point typically indicated by a prominent or stylized arrow.
