What can plotting compasses be used to detect?

A plotting compass is used to detect which direction the North Pole is located. You can stand in any position and it will always point north. +++ That's a navigation compass.

How does a plotting compass work?

A plotting compass contains a small magnet on a needle that moves with almost no friction. Assuming there isn't another magnet nearby to interfere with the magnetic waves, the magnet in the compass will always point north, in the direction of the Magnetic North, which is very close to the North Pole.
