Rotate North. Keep arrow up. Optional secondary arrow.

Used as a compass for a car, boat, or any moving vehicle.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have a arrow pointing up, instead of the north, a north rotating, and if possible a second arrow pointing to the wind

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have tried to mess with the offset option, but couldn't make it work. Offset only allows values, not sensors, and I am neither sure if this would fix it.

Additional context
I have a wind direction sensor, a boat course, and a boat speed sensor, three sensors.
I would like to have it behave (Not look) like the two following:

Or if possible like this (arrow up, wind arrow, north rotating):

What an excellent idea! Thanks for taking the time to help make this card even better.

You're right, the N indicator can not be made dynamic with a sensor. I'll add this, and add E, S and W indicators as well.

Multiple arrows are already possible. I'll whip up an example and post it here.

A kind of similar thing you ask for is possible, see the bottom right compass-card:

The top right compass card shows the raw wind and heading angles.
Only thing that is not possible like this is to show the N as north indicator, that's why I configured it as outward arrow.

To get this you need 2 template sensors, which calculate the north and wind direction angle in relation to your heading.

sensor:
  - platform: template
      calculated_north:
        friendly_name: "Calculated North"
        unit_of_measurement: "°"
        icon_template: "mdi:compass-outline"
        value_template: "{{ 360 - (states('input_number.heading') | float) }}"
      calculated_wind_direction:
        friendly_name: "Calculated Wind Direction"
        unit_of_measurement: "°"
        icon_template: "mdi:compass-outline"
        value_template: "{{ (states('input_number.wind_direction') | float) - (states('input_number.heading') | float) }}"

Use these sensors to populate the compass-card as such:

type: 'custom:compass-card'
indicator_sensors:
  - sensor: sensor.calculated_north
    state_abbreviation:
      show: false
  - sensor: sensor.calculated_wind_direction
    indicator:
      type: inward
  - sensor: input_number.heading
    state_abbreviation:
      show: true
    state_value:
      show: true
    state_units:
      show: true
    indicator:
      show: false

Hope this will do until I get the N indicator also dynamic.

TOM! Thanks for considering the feature,
I am not in a hurry, so I'll wait until v1.2
Thanks a lot!

[tomvanswam]

In v1.2.0 the background and e/s/w indicators are added. The dynamic N (and the other new ones ofc) will have to wait till v1.3.0

[alnavasa]

Don't worry tom!
I'll try it, but looking forward for 1.3.0,
I am a fan of your work!
Thanks

Hi!
Can I take a little of your time? To not make new thread. Can you make offset option more friendly with direction?
Now it's looks like picture (my windows facing to south)

ah yes, maybe it's easy-to-use flexible horseshoe card integration to make last compas?
