Inhaltsangabe
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A compass rose, sometimes called a windrose, is a figure on a map or nautical chart used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions, — north, south, east, and west. It is also the term for the graduated markings found on the traditional magnetic compass. Today, the idea of a compass rose is found on, or featured in, almost all navigation systems, including nautical charts, non-directional beacons (NDB), VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) systems, global-positioning systems (GPS), and similar equipment and devices. Early forms of the compass rose were known as wind roses, since no differentiation was made between a cardinal direction and the wind which emanated from that direction. Today, wind roses are used by meteorologists to depict wind frequencies from different directions at a location.
