You will have to give more details of what you see as a 'virtual drafting compass'
There is this plugin http://registry.gimp.org/node/28413
and an associated page https://brendanscott.wordpress.com/2013/...s-in-gimp/
and if you can figure that out, that is more than I can.
What sort of drawing are you planning? I somtimes use pdf graphpaper as an overlay
examples ISO https://i.imgur.com/4Pb9gNM.jpg perspective https://i.imgur.com/Xtnt7P7.jpg but to be honest it is a bit cumbersome to set up
