This is a Database Migration Software and the "docking compass" is a visual that appears when it comes to drag-and-drop various docking windows on the main application window. When activated, the cursor itself becomes a little compass (like the one used in geometry) and shows where to move each window on the screen.

Could you describe what the compass looks like? This is key to selecting an appropriate term.

guide de positionnement

or "compas de positionnement" - if the cursor looks like a compass, why not use the exact French term?
