You need to know the heading to use to get somewhere. You use the
compass to actually go that direction.

You don't know what that heading is unless you already know where you are.

You mean like fly a heading 230 degrees for 47 miles and there will be
a lake.

How do you know about the lake, with only a compass as your guide?

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?

How do you get this information from a compass?

You obviously know nothing of real world navigation.

No, it's just that I know about covert channels.
