A compass rose would be a great addition to any map! You can select any image to be displayed at the bottom right of your map, be it your compass rose, legend or anything else you want. To do that, follow these steps.

 
  1. Access your map's edit page.
  2. Click on ''Map Settings'' on the top menu bar.
  3. Under the Basic tab, find the ''Compass Rose Image'' option.
  4. You can select any of your uploaded images from the dropdown menu. To upload an image on World Anvil check out this guide.
  5. Once you select your image, click the ''save changes'' button on the top of that page.
  6. Your map compass will only appear in view mode, so you wont be able to see it while editing.
 

Using an image with transparency will have much better results visually!
