| − | A '''Compass rose''' (also know as a windrose or Rose of the Winds) is a symbol used to indicate direction and facilitate navigation. It is composed of a circle, typically containing 32 equidistant points around its perimeter (although some designed use degree markings for 0 to 360 degrees of the circle). The cardinal compass directions are often labeled N, E, S, and W respectively, although some designs only label North, or exclude letters and instead simply make the mark for North the largest, and the East, South, and west marks larger smaller than North, but larger than all other marks. Other designs use color instead of size to differentiate directions. A compass rose can be oriented with north either facing magnetic or true north.<ref name="dict.com">https://www.dictionary.com/browse/compass-rose</ref><ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/compass%20rose</ref> | + | A '''compass rose''' (also know as a windrose or Rose of the Winds) is a symbol used to indicate direction and facilitate navigation.
