It doesn't matter, you go by the chart.
So you need a chart, which means that a compass alone isn't much use.
If you want to go to and from true and magnetic, you need a chart to
get the local difference.
If you want to go somewhere in particular, you need a chart to find it.
If all you want to do is go in some particular direction until you
can see a recognizable landmark, all you need is a compass.
