How do you identify North East South West?

8-wind compass rose
The four cardinal directions are north (N), east (E), south (S), west (W), at 90° angles on the compass rose. The four intercardinal (or ordinal) directions are formed by bisecting the above, giving: northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW) and northwest (NW).
What direction is north?
By convention, the top or upward-facing side of a map is north. To go north using a compass for navigation, set a bearing or azimuth of 0° or 360°.
