Chasing the Kalimdor Loremaster Achievement or more specifically Bloodmyst Isle Quests? Then you must do this one quest!
No, it's not on Bloodmyst Isle, and unless you're a draenei or levelled in these areas when you were a tiny tacker, you will need to go to a different zone - Azuremyst Isle. And don't worry about the follow-up quests after this one. Just do the one, it's all you need.
It is a pre-requisite for Urgent Delivery that you will eventually need to get from Messenger Hermesius in Bloodmyst Isles - and without this [stupid filthy little] quest, you cannot unlock the final chain (of five quests in Bloodmyst Isle) to get your Bloodmyst Isle Quests achievement.
Also note that this 'final chain' you will unlock includes a quest you will receive by mail. It is the second step straight after Urgent Delivery. Don't forget to check your mailbox for the next quest!
Now... Quit gouging out your eyes, get your butt down to Odeysus' Landing in Azuremyst Isle, hit up Admiral Odeysus and knock this puppy out!
East of Odesyus' Landing is a goblin camp. There are actually two subcamps there.
The one where there's a small campfire you will find the Nautical Map (it looks like some scrolls on top of a cage).
The one nearest to the water has only a big crystal in its center and there you will find the compass on a chest.

Description
I am Admiral Odesyus of Alliance Naval Command. Our ship was forced to port on your island due to an infestation of sorts. It's embarrassing to even talk about, but goblins somehow managed to stow away in the holds of both of my ships. Last night, while most of the ship's crew was asleep below deck, they struck! Stranger still, they took our navigation gear and jumped ship! They disappeared into the thicket, east of here. Will you go in search of our gear? It will make for a strong gesture.
