Which of the following is the angle between E and NW?

To get all the questions right you will need to understand the number of degrees in a complete rotation, a half rotation, a quarter rotation and an eighth of a rotation. You’ll also need to know all about where coordinates are placed on a graph and the difference between x and y axis, as well as the four quadrants. Map directions are given using bearings. Some people use a 'thumb compass' when reading maps. These are very basic compasses that normally only show magnetic north. They are used in orienteering. But if a compass is held over a map, how can people read what is underneath the map?... Show more
