In short, a vegvísir ("wayfinder" or "way shower"), is an Icelandic magical stave, it is said to aid the bearer in finding their way through rough weather, it is not the same as a traditional compass that may be found today. It is often called the Viking Compass, or Norse Compass. It is attested in ~1860 and no earlier (receives no mention in Norse mythology), though this symbol may not have existed during the Viking Age, similar symbols may have, as sagas and eddas do mention of similar magical tools. The Vegvísir app takes this symbol and meaning, and turns it into a real functioning compass that can be used how the vegvísir was meant to be used; to let users find their way through rough weather. Locating the Realms Most mentions and depictions of the realms of Yggdrasill are usually as follows: - Asgard - North / Up - Svartalfheim - North East / Up Right - Jotunheim - East / Right - Muspelheim - South East / Down Right - Helheim - South / Down - Nidavellir - South West / Down Left - Alfheim - West / Left - Vanaheim - North West / Up Left Midgard is considered in the center of the Norse cosmology/world-tree, it currently has no indication as it is assumed that the user is on Earth/Midgard already.
