SOme people refer to it as that pointy thingy, but it is technically a Compass Rose.

I could look it up in my cartography textbook, but don't have time. There's actually another name for it other than compas rose.

We've always called it a North Arrow.

 

[Motek]

We call it the North pointer

 

[Jzero]

Maybe Chart Compass?

Hello wikipedia anyone!?

A compass rose or wind rose, is a figure displaying the orientation of the cardinal directions, north, south, east and west on a map or nautical chart.
