Its not a compass anyways, its an alethiometer, so thats blatant false advertising.
Currently reading Eldest (the sequel to Eragon) but once I've finished I may have to read the His Dark Materials trilogy again. Been a while since I read it. Shall have to poke my friend to give me my copy of The Amber Spyglass back. Currently reading Eldest (the sequel to Eragon).
Look up alethiometer on Wikipedia. Really good entry. It has a list of all the symbols and some of their possible interpretations.
