A compass rose shows the direction of north and other directions on the map.
Such arrows usually mark the direction of magnetic, or true, or grid north, depending on the type of map used.

∙ 13y agoThe "direction arrow" or a compass rose usually indicates direction on a map. The compass rose usually displays cardinal direction. The direction arrow, however, points to the north only. It can have many "norths" such as true north, magnetic north, and grid north.

∙ 15y agoIf the arrow just points to the direction of North on the map, it can be called a North Arrow. If it shows all directions, it may be called a Compass Rose.

A large scale map shows?
it shows the size of the object on the ground, on the scale.
Why Scale used on drawings?
Many manufactured or constructed items are too large (or too small) to be be drawn actual size.The engineer has to produce a drawing of convenient size to be read by those doing the construction. The scale will be on the drawing and used to convert the dimensions to actual size
What map shows the most detail?
The most accurate map is a globe because it shows exactly where things are on the Earth and a globe is not distorted, like a map is.
What is a scale that shows a large amount of detail?
It is large scale that shows a large amount of detail. No, we're not being funny, so let's look at a couple of things.If we do a cutaway drawing of a biological subject, say a cell, the larger we make the scale, the more detail we'll be able to include. Obviously the cell is a small structure, but if a drawing on a sheet of standard notebook paper (8 1/2" x 11") was pretty much filled up with the diagram, a good amount of detail could be seen. A drawing the size of a postage stamp would not begin to reveal as much detail.If we have to show a lot of area on a drawing, again we'd try for large scale. Should we wish to show a street map of, say New York City, a sheet of that notebook paper wouldn't help. The large map books contain hundreds of pages about the size of the notebook paper showing all the streets. Imagine cutting them all out and pasting them on, say, the floor of a gym. A large scale street map of New Your City would be laid out for inspection. Large scale allows more detail.
