Remember (Clockwise: N, E, S, W): Clockwise order: north → east → south → west. Turning right moves one step clockwise; turning left moves one step back; behind you is the opposite direction. Opposites: north ↔ south, east ↔ west, north-east ↔ south-west, south-east ↔ north-west. If A is north of B, then B is south of A. Maps: north at the top, a key explains the symbols, a scale shows real distances, blue shows water.
