Does the compass work fine? I mean when i stand towards north i look on the map there is arrow towards north and i look on compass the arrow also points to north. But when i turn right on the map the arrow points to right (i guess east) but on compass the red arrow points to left (i guess west). Is it right or wrong? I think its wrong.

This is how a compass works.

There is a long thread about it already on the forum, you should search before posting a topic to see if it's already been discussed:
