Best Answer

Use a compass :)

Or I think there is something to do with the stars A compass is the simplest to use. A GPS system is fancy but expensive. In the northern hemisphere, if you can see the stars, the North Star (Polaris) is always almost precisely north, and the Big Dipper and Little Dipper constellations (Ursa Major and Ursa Minor) are north "enough" to probably keep you properly oriented. During the day, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. And if you have a watch with hands (not digital), point the hour hand in the direction of the sun, and halfway between that and twelve is south.
