What do the different symbols on the map represent?

I can never figure out what the white dashes or ticks on the skyrim compass means, Is it an important NPC? I checked the page with all of the compass things today and I didn't see a white tick.

    I feel like I know what your talking about, but I can't quite remember. It's been months since I've played Skyrim. Do you maybe have a picture? – smoth190 Aug 14 '12 at 04:39

    I might be wrong but I'm actually getting the feeling the OP isn't talking about the compass symbols or the arrows. Are you talking about the single | ' ' ' ' | ' ' ' ' | ' ' ' ' | dashes? If so they don't really mean anything - they are just a reference so you can determine how far from a particular point you're facing. – Peter Aug 14 '12 at 13:03

If you are referring to white arrows (the most common mark on on the compass), they are quest markers. They depend on which is your current mission and indicates places and/or people important to the quest. For more details, take a lot in this relation: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Map_Symbols_(Skyrim)
