❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What are the basic directions?
The basic directions are the four cardinal directions—north, east, south, and west—used to describe location and navigate.
How can you find north without a compass?
Use the sun and a time reference: in the northern hemisphere, shadows point north around solar noon. An analog watch method can help: point the hour hand at the sun; halfway between 12 and the hand is south, so north is opposite.
What are intermediate directions?
Intermediate directions lie between the cardinal ones: northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW). They describe more precise bearings.
How do you use a map to determine direction?
Orient the map so its north aligns with true north, locate your position, and follow the route or directions shown.
