Usage
Normally, the compass' needle points toward the world spawn point; more specifically, it always points toward the northwest corner of the block whose coordinates are set as the world spawn. The compass points to spawn when viewed in any way, including as a dropped item, in a player's hand, in an inventory or the crafting table, or in an item frame. The direction the needle points is relative to the player who is viewing it.

In the Nether or the End, the compass' needle spins and points in random directions.

The compass can be used on a lodestone, after which it is named lodestone compass by default and points to that lodestone as long as the compass is in that dimension. If the compass is taken to a different dimension, it spins randomly. If the lodestone is destroyed, it also spins randomly even if the lodestone is replaced afterward. However, not-unboxed lodestone compasses in storage will continue to point to any lodestone replaced into the same block space as the removed originally used lodestone, if done before the created thusly lodestone compass is unboxed (removed from storage).
