They use the fact that the earth acts as a giant magnet so that compasses point towards the north pole.
What property it uses depends on the type of compass. A magnetic compass uses magnetism. Some other compasses (which are more accurate) use the rotation of Earth itself.
people uses compasses because it is a very good use of tool that tells you where to go when you are lost.
There are three main types of compasses used for navigation and outdoor activities: magnetic compasses, digital compasses, and lensatic compasses.

Lensatic compasses are more advanced and have a sighting lens for more accurate readings.
There are three main types of compasses available on the market today: magnetic compasses, digital compasses, and gyrocompasses. Magnetic compasses use a magnetized needle to point towards the Earth's magnetic north. Digital compasses use sensors to determine direction and display it digitally. Gyrocompasses use a spinning gyroscope to find true north regardless of magnetic interference.
Yes, compasses use a magnetic needle that aligns with the Earth's magnetic field. The needle itself is not an electromagnet, but it relies on the Earth's magnetic field to point towards the magnetic north pole.
Muslims use specialized compasses for locating the direction of Kabatullah (the Ka'aba in Mecca) at the time of offering Namaaz (Prayer/Supplication).
