What is the difference between maps and compass?

A map is a diagram of a place, and depending on the size, there will be a varying amount of detail. For example, a world map will show where different countries are, and the oceans near them. A city map will show the roads and parks and will help you get from one place to another. A compass, on the other hand, simply shows you which direction you are pointing at the moment- North, East, South, or West. When you are walking, for example, you might like to know whether you're headed towards the park, which is North of where yous tarted.
