"A compass only tells you one direction, North. You must calculate all the other 364 degrees of direction gained from it."
 
 
(Ahhh, so that's why I have trouble with my dang cheap compass....it only shows 360 degrees :)
 
 
 
But Sir, tell me please "which one of these "360 degrees" does your cheap compass point to? All 360 of them? Ah, but no! It only points North. You my friend must adjust the underlying compass card so the other 359 are accurately indicated.
