What the North Arrow icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The North Arrow icon represents a directional indicator pointing towards the north, commonly used in cartography and navigation to orient maps and provide spatial context. It symbolizes direction and orientation.
In real-world applications, the North Arrow icon appears in mapping and GIS software like ArcGIS, QGIS, and Google Maps. These tools use the icon to help users understand spatial relationships and navigate.
From a UX perspective, the North Arrow icon communicates direction and orientation, aiding users in understanding their position and navigating through maps and spatial data.
North Arrow is one of 367 icons in Font-GIS, made by Jean-Marc Viglino and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 100 × 100 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 NorthArrowIcon to components/icons/gis-north-arrow.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 NorthArrowIcon 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 North Arrow icon, or any of 367 Font-GIS icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 100 × 100 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.
Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. 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="North Arrow", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. NorthArrowIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <NorthArrowIcon 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, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Jean-Marc Viglino) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Jean-Marc Viglino, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
Its tags are navigation, transportation, geography, GIS, maps and cartography. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for North Arrow in another set.
