Add a (North) arrow to a map

Usage

north(xy=NULL, type=1, label="N", angle=0, d, head=0.1, xpd=TRUE, ...)

xy	numeric. x and y coordinate to place the arrow. It can also be one of following character values: "bottomleft", "bottom", "bottomright", topleft", "top", "topright", "left", "right", or NULL
type	integer between 1 and 12, or a character (unicode) representation of a right pointing arrow such as "\u27A9"
label	character, to be printed near the arrow
angle	numeric. The angle of the arrow in degrees
d	numeric. Distance covered by the arrow in plot coordinates. Only applies to type=1
head	numeric. The size of the arrow "head", for type=1
xpd	logical. If TRUE, the scale bar or arrow can be outside the plot area
