To use a compass, hold it flat in your palm and make sure the direction of travel arrow is pointing away from you. Rotate the compass bezel so that the orienting arrow lines up with the north marker on the bezel. Turn yourself until the red end of the compass needle aligns with the orienting arrow. You are now facing north.
