Compass

The Compass is used to help the player navigate the planet. Players can activate the compass by pressing the control to open the Action Wheel ( on PC) and selecting the Compass icon. This can be used at any time, when the player is in or outside of a vehicle. The compass will always point to the North pole of the planet.

Navpoints
The compass will show the player multiple different navpoints, however not all of a certain type will be displayed, and will only show the player the nearest one.

Trivia

 * The compass was not able to be shown inside of a vehicle until Patch 1.19.134, released on March 31st 2021.
