===== Using the North Arrow Tool =====
The **North Arrow Tool** will open up the North Arrow window and display a preset number of images for a directional arrow. If you do not wish to use the preset images, you can always use the browse function to find a custom image on your computer and use that. Regardless of what image you use, the preview panel will show you what your image will look like on the map.
