Outline north map marker: upward arrowhead with a capital letter N above it
About the North Navigation Arrow black outline icon
A tall, narrow arrowhead with a notched base points straight up, and a capital letter N sits directly above its tip - the standard north marker found on printed maps and survey plans. It communicates orientation, heading and bearing, which makes it a fit for map overlays and mini-maps, GPS and navigation apps, floor plans and architectural drawings, hiking or outdoor guides, and real estate site plans.
The arrow is built from two long straight edges meeting at a sharp apex, with a shallow V cut into the bottom that makes it read as a compass needle rather than a solid triangle. The letter is set in the same light stroke weight for balance. Pair it with compass, pin and route icons. Keep it upright - rotating it breaks the meaning.
This is the black outline version of the north navigation arrow icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
It downloads free as an SVG vector or transparent PNG in seven sizes, and the free online editor lets you recolor it, apply gold, silver, neon and gradient styles, add animation, or convert it to EPS, PDF and DXF.
