To find the treasure, we need to follow the directions step-by-step on the map grid. Each square on the grid represents 1 kilometer (km). We start at the red arrow labeled "START".
Here is the step-by-step path:
1.
Go East 3 km: From the start, move 3 squares to the right. (This is already done for you in the example).
2.
Go North 5 km: Move 5 squares up. You are now near the palm trees and the small pond.
3.
Go East 2 km: Move 2 squares to the right. You pass the big grey rock.
4.
Go South 2 km: Move 2 squares down. You are now next to the cactus.
5.
Go East 3 km: Move 3 squares to the right. You cross the river.
6.
Go South 4 km: Move 4 squares down. You are now near the bottom of the map, close to the mountains.
7.
Go West 3 km: Move 3 squares to the left. You are now at the base of the large mountain peak.
8.
Go North 3 km: Move 3 squares up. You are climbing up the side of the mountain.
9.
Go West 4 km: Move 4 squares to the left. You are moving along the ridge of the mountain.
10.
Go South 1 km: Move 1 square down.
11.
Go East 1 km: Move 1 square to the right. You are now directly on top of the highest point of the mountain.
12.
Go North 3 km: Move 3 squares up. You are now in the sky above the mountain.
13.
Go West 2 km: Move 2 squares to the left.
Mark a cross: The final instruction is to mark a cross. Based on the path, you end up in the empty space in the top-left area of the map, specifically in the square that is 2 columns from the left edge and 2 rows from the top edge (above the shipwreck area).
Final Answer:
The Treasure is in the square located
2 squares from the left edge and 2 squares from the top edge of the map grid.
