I got a question from a fellow cataloger about a marking on the navigation map shown below, the “compass looking thingy.” Doers anyone have a more specific term for it?

Howdy Brian,
I have a map of fishing spots in the Florida Keys that has a big circle with compass directions on it … do you know what that is called?
