Compas

The compas icon represents navigation and directional guidance in mapping applications and exploration tools. Featuring a traditional compass with cardinal direction markers, this symbol has become the standard indicator for navigation features, orientation controls, and directional assistance across location-based services and exploration apps.

In modern applications like Google Maps or outdoor navigation tools like AllTrails, you'll see this icon when accessing compass features, orienting maps, and finding directions. It appears in travel apps when providing directional guidance, or in adventure platforms like Komoot when planning routes and exploring new locations with cardinal direction references.

From a wayfinding perspective, the compass icon communicates more than just 'shows direction' - it specifically indicates true orientation, cardinal navigation, and the exploration aspect of location-based services. This distinction helps users understand they're accessing directional tools rather than simple route planning or address lookup features.

Compas is one of 100 icons in Flat UI Icons, made by Designmodo, Inc. and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 112 × 111 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds CompasIcon to components/icons/flat-ui-compas.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed CompasIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Compas icon, or any of 100 Flat UI Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 112 × 111 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Compas", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. CompasIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <CompasIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Flat UI Icons, Designmodo, Inc. and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are navigation, direction, explore, compass and wayfinding. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Compas in another set.
