Inserting IHO/INT1 Compass Rose

[JustinOdell]

Hi all,

I wish to insert an 'IHO / INT1' standard compass rose into an ArcGIS Pro layout.

I have the 'Maritime' licensing extension turned on. When I go to insert > north arrow and do a search for "rose" or "compass", I do not see any IHO or INT1 looking compass rose options.

What is the best way to configure an official hydrographic chart compass rose in ArcGIS Pro?

I have published a "How To" document to accomplish this very thing!  I shared it with you in the attachment.

Hi Justin,

Since you have the maritime extension, you should be able to use the attached stylx with a maritime geodatabase. You need to insert a feature into TidesAndVarirationsP, under the MAGVAR subtype.

You can calculate magnetic variation and annual change using the Calculate Magnetic Components tool https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/topographic-production/calculate-magnetic-co...

Use the option to Connect Symbol Properties to Attributes to apply the geographic rotation (not graphic) of the arrow. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/layer-properties/attribute-driven-symbology.ht...

Let me know if you have more questions.
