The directions that lie between the four main directions (north, south, east, west) are northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest. These are intermediate directions that indicate a combination of two main directions.
Latitude lines go from east to west as they measure the distance north or south of the equator._longitude lines run from north to south and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
The four cardinal directions on a compass rose are north, east, south, and west.
North, South, East and West are the four cardinal points of the compass.
The four cardinal directions of a compass rose are north, south, east, and west. These directions are used for orientation and navigation.

The 8 main points on a compass are North, South, East, West. North East. North West, South East, South West.
North, south, east and west
North is towards the North Pole, south is towards the South Pole, east is to the right if you are facing north, and west is to the left when facing north.
"Boxing the compass" is the act of reciting the 32 principal points of the compass. It was a necessary skill of all mariners before the mid1930's. Up until this time, ship's officers would give the helmsman orders to "steer south-east by south" for example. On board a modern ship, the equivalent order would be "steer one-four-six degrees." So, to box the compass, start at north and work clock-wise. North, north by east, north-northeast, north-east by north, north-east, northeast by east, east-northeast, east by north, east, east by south, east-southeast, southeast by east, southeast, southeast by south, south-southeast, south by east south, south by west, south-southwest, southwest by south, southwest, southwest by west, west-southwest, west by south west, west by north, west-northwest, northwest by west, northwest, northwest by north, north-northwest, north by west, north. 151.88°157.50°163.12° NNW NbW
