[Qgis-user] QGIS3 Layout - North Arrow?

[Murkor]

Just to weigh in as a daily user of GIS software as a spatial information
analyst and field biologist;
yes inserting a north arrow as an image works. However, it would be
worthwhile to have a dedicated north arrow insert tool, like the scale bar
tool, with number of north arrow options that is significantly increased
over what is presently available in the "Search Directories" library of
icons.

Cheers,
Mike
