I think if you get the sizing of the window right, and if you have the overlay face just have a narrow ring that the scroll shows through, and the scroll just have marks, one starting at the vertical half point and going up(north), and one at the vertical half going down(south). then you sort of would have the effect of a needled compass. As you face south, you see the mark on the scroll showing at the bottom of the ring, as you face east/west the mark moves around the ring, at directly east/west the marks on the scroll swap, and as you turn north, the mark on the ring moves north. Kind of ghetto, and you may end up having an ungodly big compass, but, it's a circular compass.
