The Compass is an accessory that shows the coordinates of a player's current horizontal position by measuring how many feet (1 foot = 1/2 tile) away from the center of the map they are, or the center of the original spawn point. It functions much in the same way as the Depth Meter, which gives the player's vertical position above or below the map's sea level.
The player can combine a Compass, Depth Meter, and a Gold/Platinum Watch at a Tinkerer's Workshop to get the GPS, a three-in-one item that shows horizontal and vertical positions, and the time.
They are dropped by Mimics, which are found underground when Hardmode is active. As of 1.3.0.1, they are also dropped by Mother Slimes, Snow Flinx, Armored Vikings, and Undead Vikings.
Also the compass has 1.33% chance to be dropped by Piranha.
