Thanks all. He is a typical 11 year old who loves maths and into computer games ,unfortunately not a scout.
I thought a variety of this sort of stuff would spark something.
Like most kids his age he will probably suss how to use it just by looking at it0 -
Aaaah, memories of my teenage years being abandoned in the middle of the welsh hills with an OS map, compass and the coordinates of base camp.
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

Using a compass is a sensible skill to have, remember if he's older and gets into something like hill walking or even off road biking (to an extent) where there is no phone reception, knowing how to use a map and compass is invaluable even if only to know which direction to walk in without having to resort to using the sun/stars
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
