Turn the Compass Housing
Rotate the compass dial (bezel) so that the "N" (north) lines up with the red needle.
Read Your Bearing
Use the direction-of-travel arrow to determine which way you're facing (e.g., 90° = East, 180° = South).
Navigate to go in a certain direction, point the arrow in that direction and turn your body until the needle lines up with north again.
Then walk in the direction of the arrow.
