I thought I'd just put a post up here for all of us that at one time unchecked Display Compass. I did last night and spent an hour of life trying to remember how to get it back and didn't find anything on the forums about it. So I thought if I could save someone else the hassle, good.
First "Display Compass" is File Type dependent. So It could be on in some type of documents and off in others.
THE FIX: So just open up a document of the type the compass is not appearing in anymore (I usually just open a new one) and then goto to your pull down menu File/Properties. Document properties opens up, goto the Compass Options and recheck the Display compass box and hit OK.

Another problem I forgot to put on here. Is sometimes your compass will disappear from the corner even though it's "ON". You can make it goto the current UCS and see it but as soon as you tell it to go do default position it disappears.
Solution: Go and select the "Configure View" pull down icon (just before the sunglasses) and then select perspective from the pop up menu. You Must do it through "Configure View". Then the compass will reappear. Then save it.
