| | Compass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As for the Arab world, Yemeni Sultan al-Ashraf appears to be the earliest confimed mention of the compass in 1290, though some authors assert an earlier recording, as early as 1242 for Arabic, and 1231 or Persian. | | | The latter 2 are supported by evidence of the Arabic word for "Compass" (al-konbas) possibly being a derivation of the old Italian word for compass. | | | A gyrocompass or astrocompass can also be used to ascertain True north. |
