Are you sure it's the regular compass (just named 'compass') you're talking about? Because that one works as expected, it points in the direction your party is facing. There is another compass in the game that doesn't work like a normal compass however.

doh - the compass itself shows the direction. So obvious. :)

very useful when you encounter teleport puzzles that spin you around as the compass will tell you which way is north

Indeed it is. After all, How can you draw a map, if you don't know which way is north? Also there are some puzzles that use North, East, South, and West as dirrections, and on Old School Mode, you can't just open your map and see figure it out on that
