Compasses In Southern Hemisphere. the planet's magnetic field attracts one end of the compass's magnetic pointer toward the north pole, so compass users always know which way magnetic north lies. If you have an analog wrist watch, you can use the time to find north. but the problem is that when you're in the southern hemisphere, the magnetic north pole is sort of 'under your feet' so the. a magnetic compass that works perfectly well north of the equator, doesn’t work at all on the south side of the equator, as you can see in these photographs. In fact, manufacturers of compasses customize them for five separate geographic zones. suunto mechanical compasses have two balancing solutions: a compass designed for the southern hemisphere is weighted differently to avoid this problem. That way is roughly south. in the southern hemisphere, north will be the direction closer to the sun. in the southern hemisphere, you would have to find the southern cross. In the northern hemisphere , north will be the direction further from.
