Using the UNOS rule, what happens to the magnetic compass when rolling out onto a northerly heading?

It leads the actual heading, so you roll out late
It lags the actual heading, so you must roll out early (undershoot)
It reads exactly correct throughout the turn
It spins continuously and cannot be used
