In theory this may seem like a good idea, not two overpowering and can help reduce match times. But the main problem I see is that it does create an unfair advantage. Person A should not be able to track person B, for all we know, person B has no chance of finding person A until it is too late. This would also reduce many strategies, someone could use the compass to make sure no one is around and use a crafting table, reducing the chances of an ambush. One solution would be to give multiple items out, so everyone has a chance, but this would change to whole meaning of Survival Games in my opinion. The whole basis of Survival Games is the fear that you have no idea who is around each corner, adding this item would ruin this.

One thing that makes a player strong in an mcsg match is their chest route. If they add that tier 3 chest to their route, it's not very difficult for them to become even stronger and more op. I think that it would be a nice sponsor item and if it had a limited use. Example, can only be used on 3 players

Maybe so people cant find a compass but can make one. So its a sword/armour or a compass that would make it so more people can get it but its harder to get

Since I don't have much to add to what's been said above, here's my opinion.
So you get a compass. I'd say they should only be obtainable through sponsoring. You can right click on the compass and it will guide you to the nearest player just like the compass would normally lead you to spawn. This would be quite powerful, and probably even a game-changing item.
But you would also have to use it strategically. Just so that you can't repetitively use it, a one minute cool down to make it less over-powered. It might also potentially lead you to your teammate, which would probably end up being a waste. But once that minute is over, you can use it again (if you want obviously) and it will guide you to a different person than it did the first time.
Similar ideas have been suggested where you get a map, and it shows on the map the locations of other people. I think this is a more logical and fair suggestion, so I'd support this over that
