Step 1: Labeling the Map Using the Compass
The compass shows:
-
N = North
-
E = East
-
S = South
-
W = West
We need to label the directions on the map:
1.
Top of the map (North) →
N
2.
Right side of the map (East) →
E
3.
Bottom of the map (South) →
S
4.
Left side of the map (West) →
W
So:
-
1.) N
-
2.) E
-
3.) S
-
4.) W
