# Navigation using Directions Build a Device that can be used to navigate using the compass feature and the arrows (either the pre-build microbit arrows or design your own) ![](https://2507214486-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LpUPSf3tCxHePJxNjfg%2F-Lt04SggbPMSkR8BTzLZ%2F-Lt04ZcDTjobAfDsVnTl%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=c2af0384-e548-4d75-95f0-965fce3f5c03) ### Basic Guide Lines * [ ] Pick one of the 4 main directions (N S E W) * [ ] Design a Program that will detect if the micro:bit is NOT traveling in your chose direction * [ ] What will you show if you are ON course * [ ] If your current compass reading = the direction you picked * [ ] What will happen if you are OFF course? * [ ] Alert Captain? * [ ] Notify direction they are currently traveling * [ ] Use arrows to show which way to turn the boat to head in the correct direction * [ ] Notify Captain when back on course ![https://www.nmeaboater.com/content/blog/blog](https://2507214486-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LpUPSf3tCxHePJxNjfg%2F-Lsx0Zz_KAfcQZwOWUVL%2F-Lsx0bFMeDPNH5lA5tLL%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=371d14a0-788b-4e7e-adba-91a01767b8af) #### Extensions: pick some of these or make your own Add the ability to for the user to select a navigational setting before the trip begins Add the ability for the captain to "set" a direction setting by moving the microbit before the trip begins Add the 8 point direction functions Modify the ranges so that you are not going "relatively north" but are following a specific degree marker --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
