It's that way right where I'm pointing

When you're lost, walk downhill, or downstream, until you reach the sea, or a McDonalds.

If you reach an Arby's, you've gone the wrong way, crawl back into the wilderness, it's safer there.

At one point in my childhood, my dad made the comment, “Women don’t know compass directions.” I took offense to that and made a point to learn them to prove him wrong.

I felt vindicated in high school when he was coming to pick me up from a friend’s house and said, “I’m at the gas station. Do I go left or right?” I told him there were several gas stations on the way, and asked which direction he was facing to figure out which one he was by. He couldn’t tell me and finally hung up on me in a huff.

It's easy. When you imagine south as a north being on the top then west is on the east side from it.

Opposite to the east.

[–] fixerdude2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

All roads lead to East New Westersouth.

Worst case scenario, download a compass app for your phone, but watch out for scams that will require heavy network traffic

iPhone/appleWatch may have one already, but I don’t know about android

[–] superkret@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I feel like while your phone has battery, there are easier ways to navigate than a compass.

[–] potpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No data, no map.

GPS can give your coordinates, but that’s pointless unless you walk a bit and translate the direction.

Compass uses most of its power for the screen.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do you have a minute to talk about Openstreetmap? You can download the map before you head out, then navigate without data connection.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This requires foresight. Most people don't plan on getting lost.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just use the app for navigation so I always download the map for the area I travel to before I go.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I used to do the same when i was too poor to afford data on my phone or when i go through areas with poor service.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

google also allows offline caching, but also needs to be set up ahead of time. AFAIK once you set a region to download, it will update that cache regularly.

I would expect this is a feature that most map apps would offer

iOS has a built in compass app.

[–] nepenthes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

So does Android. This phone is old and it's on the edge menu (Samsung).screenshot of compass face

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Quick shoutout for Trail Sense for Android. Designed to function offline, lots of cool navigation/basic tools I haven't used outside of the GPS and compass, reasonable permissions, etc. One of those "You don't know how useful it is until you don't have connectivity" things.

Or just ask them which is west and they can point you towards it? Your not a compass needle lol, what is that assumption.
