Honda CR-V: Compass Operation

Next to the outside temperature
indicator of the information display,
a compass indicates which direction
your vehicle is pointed. It indicates
eight directions.
N: North
S: South
E: East
W: West
NE: Northeast
NW: Northwest
SE: Southeast
SW: Southwest

traveling in the north-east direction,

display.
