Compass points North?!

This question might make me seem stupid, but here it goes...

In movie 1 when Norrington gets the compass he says it doenst point north. How does he know that when he doenst have a compass that does point north to tell him where north is?

i know really dumb question, but plz explain

ok that could be possible but do nt you htink he would think JHack would know whihc way North is because he has lived on the sea A LONG TIME! and so a compass that points north wouldnt really matter cuz he knows where it is.

does that make sense?

He might of just wanted Jack to look bad in front of everyone. Showing that the great Jack Sparrow wasn't really great.

but beckett wants to arrest norrri so it makes no sense that they work together. i think norri is just proud that he has captured a legend. at the ship, when lizzie is young, he says that he wants to free her of all the pirates. or even in a deleted scene, governor says to liz, she should hide the medallion in front of norri.

Most people, especially people in the navy who have had extensive navigation training, can find north without a compass.

Speak for yourself. I can only find north if I see where the sun is. Lol. But for Norrington, it's easy.

Perhaps Beckett only had Elizabeth and Will think he wanted Norrington so they wouldn't suspect any ties.

The logic of the assumption is justifiable, accept an the end of II, wouldn't there have been a hint of recognition when he walked in with the thump-thump?

Maybe Beckett, couldn't recognize the Commodore without his Ice-cream Uniform and powdered wig.

actually he never did arrest Norri...he mightve just said that he was going tro arrest Norri cuz they probably wouldve been like oh you arrest US for helping Jack but not Norrington?!

Y'all, seriously scary--all traditionally working compasses--ie. not Disney ones--point to magnetic north (as opposed to true north). You have your compass, you're standing at your front door looking out. You look at your compass and the arrow point is pointing at your right shoulder(example!). We now know north is yes, over your right shoulder opposite direction, south to your left east to your right west.
