Wouldn’t setting and facing a compass to 20 degrees West, mean the needle points 20 degrees east (on the compass face)?
In: Technology
The needle always points north. Rotate your compass to line up the N under the needle. Walk in your desired direction. If you know where you are and you have a map, you can lay out your map on the ground so that north on the map and north in real life are the same direction. Pick a destination and figure out what compass heading you need to walk to get there. Count your steps for distance.
