You should go through some of these.

You can find a thread with some basic info on dial customizing here. You can use one of those techniques to create a basic compass. You can find a more detailed document here.

Also, if you search here or in the NI forums for things like "pitch" and "roll" you should be able to find some examples.

And you could also use the picture control and use the drawing funtions to draw your own control, I would use that for the pitch,roll,heading and then customize a Gauge control to create the compass.
