Starpath Compass Rose Creator

The NOAA Custom Charts (NCC) app sometimes has difficulty placing compass roses in best locations. in which case you can just shut off the compass rose option when creating the NCC and then make one with the free app below. That will generate a NOAA-style compass rose as a PNG file with a transparent background that you can then paste onto the PDF NCC where you choose, and resize as desired. See Instructions on adding an image to a PDF.
