Drawing accurate circles and part circles in surveying, mathematics and geometry in schools and at work where planning is involved.
a compass can be used anywhere.... the accuracy however may suffer in the magnetic polar regions. Then of course there is outer space where a compass would not work

Louis and Clark did not have compass's to tell what direction they went so they would have been lost without Sacagwea.
A compass saw is used to make curved cuts

a compass uses magnets to point north, whereas a compass rose is used on a map to direct north, south, east, and west. to my knowledge a compass rose is only used on a map.
People arleady knew how to navigate using stars (for instance before the compass was invented). And anyone seriously working with magnets would've stumbled across one that could be used as a compass eventually.
A magnetic compass depends on Earth's magnetic field for orientation. In space, there is no magnetic field to interact with, so a magnetic compass would not be useful for navigation. Other orientation systems, like gyroscopes or star tracking sensors, are used instead in space.
Compass is an open source CSS Authoring Framework. After installation, you run the command 'compass init', which creates a file called config.rb in your working directory. This file is used to configure the project output.
Most of the time, a tool called a "compass" is used to draw perfect circles. This compass is not to be mistaken with a directional compass.
I used my compass to find my way out of the forest.
Drake probably used a compass as it was a very important tool at that time and without possibly the help of an astrolabe. It would be impossible for him to tell which direction he was going
