My only suggestion is that it stands for orient which in some cases loosely means east https://www.ubeaut.biz/captain.gif
Hi,
The German language uses the work "Osten" for East.
Suden is south
Norden is north
Westen is west
thus the other 3 cardinal points are as english but east obviously is "wrong" :D
Did some more research after Zed's post and yes it is common for the German compass to be marked with O for East.Quote:
