Question

what is the significance of the arrow which points towards north on the map?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A north arrow (sometimes also called a compass rose) is a figure displaying the main directions, North, South, East and West. On a map it is used to indicate the direction of North.

Answer 2

So the arrow is always pointing towards the north, so this helps us find the other directions on the map. Now at school level, we’ll generally get all maps with the arrow facing upward, but further on, there’ll be many maps where they’re tilted and all so the arrow becomes useful there
