Step 1: Understand the Map
We are given a simple map of a town with several landmarks:
-
Key (Legend):
- 🏫 School
- 🍕 Restaurant (Pizza)
- 🛒 Supermarket (S-MART)
- 🏡 House
- 🌳 Park
- 🛣️ Road
- 🚂 Railroad
There is also a
compass rose (a cross with an arrow pointing up) indicating
North.
The
railroad runs diagonally from the bottom-left to the top-right.
---
Step 2: Label the Compass Rose
The compass rose has an arrow pointing
up, which means that direction is
North (N).
So:
- Up = North (N)
- Down = South (S)
- Right = East (E)
- Left = West (W)
✔ So, label the compass rose as:
- Top:
N
- Bottom:
S
- Right:
E
- Left:
W
