I have started making it a tradition to bring along an old compass with me on my travels. I originally purchased it on eBay to use as a piece in digital artwork. Now, I tend to use it in photographs to represent my passion for exploration.

Owen Morrels sculpture, “Compass Rose”, a spherical depiction of a navigation device, is located in the Boathouse District. The sculpture was commissioned by Leadership Oklahoma City.

 

This was the first time I have seen it. Didn't have very good conditions, but couldn't pass up shooting it.

The Jeep Compass was introduced by DaimlerChrysler in 2006. It's about the same size as the Jeep Patriot but has a more cross-over like styling. In 2011 the Compass was facelifted and got a front end in the style of the Grand Cherokee.

일본 여행가기전에 한 친구를 만났는데 그때 일본가서 길 잃어버리지 말라고 이 나침반을 선물받았다. 어릴적부터 길눈이 어두운나..그친구도 일본에서 이 나침반하고 지도하나로 잘 살아왔다고...그런데 난 참 모르겠다...어느쪽이 북쪽이고 동쪽인지..@ 길치들을 위한 학원은 없나?

Hold the compass level - if the compass is tilted, the needle will touch the clear lid and not move correctly.

 

Read the correct end of the needle.

 

Use common sense, such as knowing that if you are in North America, Europe, or Asia and heading anywhere towards the sun, you can't be heading north, northwest, or northeast. If you are south of the equator and heading towards the sun, it's just the opposite and you are heading in a northerly direction. (If you are in the tropics, between the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees North of the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees South of the equator, then this tip should not be used. The sun can be either north or south of you, depending on the time of year.)

 

RED IN THE SHED!

 

Keep the compass away from metal objects - even a knife, flashlight, or key chain can cause a false reading if too close to the compass.

Different compasses in the world

I tried to picture an old compass in the dark, using blacklight an my 50mm Sigma lens on the Nikon D70s.

The Optare MetroRider was not a type particularly common to Surrey, although Tillingbourne did have a few before they went into receivership back in 2001 (see below).

I do remember that Arriva did operate one around Guildford and Woking once, it was on loan from the Kent operations. Not sure which depot it was on loan to - it could have been Woking depot back then of course as it hadn't been closed yet.

 

In Sussex, Compass Travel started their operations using step entrance minibuses, including MetroRiders, and there were loads of the things in the fleet at that time. See www.compass-travel.co.uk/ex_fleet.html

 

They now only have two left, and it just so happens that this one, T422 ADN, is one of the pair (along with T421 ADN) they still do have.
