Why E and W are inverted on the Spectra compass?Updated 9 months ago

The explanation to why Spectra's "E" and "W" are inverted, compared to a regular compass, is that you do not need or can turn the compass housing! You realize that this is easiest if you take out a traditional compass with a rotating housing and compare the instructions taken with this type of compass. Then you must first turn the compass housing so that the "W" on the steering wheel points to the red direction of travel arrow, then turn the compass so that the red part of the compass needle fits into the red arrow at the bottom of the compass cover and then follow the arrow for direction of travel.
