agree  Bryan Crumpler: arrow/indicator. To asker: doesn't require a separate kudoz entry. Rather an agree + side comment as to an alternative. / Nope. Considering the time diff, Daves answer comes across as fishing 4 points rather than providing meaningful ref. material & expl.

  -> Thank you. I assume your additional comment is aimed at Dave, not the asker?
agree  John Holloway: Both indicator and arrow are used - but north arrow clearly the better translation here.
