If you want to do anything, you need more than a compass.
You need to know the heading to use to get somewhere. You use the
compass to actually go that direction.
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.
In order to recognize the landmark, you need something more than a compass.
You mean like fly a heading 230 degrees for 47 miles and there will be
a lake. At the lake fly a heading of 273 degrees for 32 miles and
at that airport, fly a heading of 264 degrees for another 44 miles
and you will be at your destination?
You obviously know nothing of real world navigation.
