Compass Icon
compass · Map Location · 6 styles
Solar Icons catalogues Compass under Map Location. It is one of 37 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Compass lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "compass", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Semantically the glyph carries the idea of maps, pins, routes and geolocation. That places Compass in the Map Location family, which covers maps, pins, routes and geolocation and turns up in address pickers, delivery tracking, store locators and trip summaries. Teams building logistics, travel and local-commerce products reach for this set first. Use Compass where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Compass in 6 styles
Compass comes rendered in 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

Nothing is registered globally by default, so the import list is the bundle. Import CompassBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/map-location" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for compass live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Compass icon FAQ
- How do I use the compass icon in Angular?
- Import CompassBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/map-location", register it with provideSolarIcons(CompassBold) and render <solar-icon name="compass" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Compass support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of compass?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Compass inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
