1. A luminescent indication compass, comprising an electric power supply, a luminescent driver, a luminescent panel, a control panel, a voltage dropping circuit, and an electronic compass module, wherein:

  • the luminescent driver is connected to the electric power supply for transmitting processed signals of orientation to the luminescent panel;

    the luminescent panel is connected to the luminescent driver, for indicating the processed signals of orientation;

    the control panel is connected to the electric power supply to control operation of the voltage dropping circuit, the luminescent panel includes a plurality of multi-stage indicators juxtaposed with each other, the multi-stage indicators are arranged as four parallel upright columns and each columns includes two indicators, three separated horizontal indicators are connected between a first column and a second column of the indicators, the other three separated horizontal indicators are connected between a third column and a fourth column of the indicators, four inclined indicators are arranged as two substantially “

    V”

    arrangements, one of the two indicators of one of the two “

    V”

    arrangements is located between the first column and the second column of the indicators, the other of the two indicators of said one of the two “

    V”

    arrangements is respectively located between the third column and the fourth column of the indicators, the other “

    V”

    arrangement is located beside the fourth column of indicators;

    the voltage dropping circuit is connected to the control panel for dropping a voltage supplied from the electric power supply through the control panel; and

    the electronic compass module is connected to the luminescent driver and the voltage dropping circuit, and is driven by a dropped voltage supplied from the voltage dropping circuit to process signals of orientation, and the processed signals of orientation are transmitted through the luminescent driver to the luminescent panel.
