a compass bearing is one way

e.g. NNE of the bank

another way they can describe a location is with latitude and longitude

e.g. 23° 12' N 12° 45' E

The easiest way to measure your location is using a GPS device which gets the exact location in terms of latitude and longitude. The location is calculated by "triangulating" your position with at least three GPS satellites.
