Once it's lined up with the map, the direction of the Compass is more obvious. Shinji takes the opportunity to activate it a few more times, and they'll notice that one out of every four activations, it points in a different direction.

Three out of four times, they are correct, it points to the East, but the explosion and speed seems to be much more powerful, almost like the Compass is indicating that that Crystal is much closer.

But the fourth time, the Compass points to the Northwest, straight for the Lost Continent. With Ales' expertise, he can tell that the biggest landmark in that direction is the Village of Santa Claus.

Kaji looks down at the map. "I can get our flyers on this, try to pin down the location more. But what do you want to do about this?"
