Upside down compass on map tools

sorry, but that was a little hard to follow. In game there are two zero deg points I am concerned with (from what I understand), one is the heading of my boat - if I am looking towrds the bow of my boat I am looking at the zero deg in relation to my boat. So any contact my men make is in relation to my boat. "Bearing 90 deg" will be directly to my right if I am looking towards the bow of my boat from the bridge. The other zero deg is due north. As in if my boat is heading 90 deg it is headed to the East, 180 deg to the south, and 270 deg to the West. Now in the map room all the tools have 0 deg pointing down. And whatever tool I drag with to make a line gives me some bearing in relation to 0 deg pointing down. How does this help me?
