The top of a map shows the north direction, while the bottom of the map shows the south direction. Towards the right is the east and the west lies towards the left in an atlas.
The point between the north and the west is the north-west, while the point between the north and the east is the northeast. The direction between the south and the west is called East the south-west, while the direction between the south and the east is called the south-east. you must note that north or south is said first and not west or east. So the intermediate points are NW, NE, 5W and 5E.
Sometimes a place may not be exactly in these four directions. We can mark other directions, say midway between north and east. It is called north-east, Thus we can also mark south-east north-west and south-west, These are called sub-directions.
