Hi,

Does anyone know of a published collection of various compass roses? Were
compass roses first used on compasses or are the decorationd on maps? I
don't have much luck with an internet search on compass rose, is there a
better term to use for a search? What is the correct name for the figure
eight like business on globes? What is the figure's function? Where should
I look for more information.

Thanks for listening to so many questions,
Jim McConville
