This JavaScript converts degrees to a compass point, e.g. convert.toCompass(140) gets 140° -> SE.
I can't help but think: is there a more concise way to do this?
var convert = {

{
if(degrees >= 0 && degrees <= 11.25)

By looking at values in your series of if's, you can make an array ([]), then calculate which index to pick:
var convert = {
toCompass: function(degrees)
{
return ['N', 'NNE', 'NE', 'ENE', 'E', 'ESE', 'SE', 'SSE', 'S', 'SSW', 'SW', 'WSW', 'W', 'WNW', 'NW', 'NNW', 'N'][Math.round(degrees / 11.25 / 2)];
}
}
alert(convert.toCompass(140)); // SE
