Azimuth (bearing) is usually referred to North as zero and proceeding to the east. Northeast is 45 degrees.
No point on Earth can have both a north and a south coordinate (unless the point is on the equator, where the latitude is zero so it doesn't matter whether you call it zero north or zero south, or both).

South-East; the point in question is in the English channel.
The 'parallels' of latitude are numbered in degrees north or south of the equator, from zero to 90 degrees. The equator is zero; the poles are 90 degrees north/south. The meridians of longitude all pass through the poles. They're numbered in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, from zero to 180 degrees. The Prime Meridian ... the line defined as zero longitude ... is the meridian that joins the north and south poles and passes through Greenwich, England. (That's the origin of the terms "near east", "middle east", and "far east" ... they're the regions that are near, medium, and far to the east, beginning in England at the prime meridian.)
First of all, there really is no such longitude as "185 degrees west". Longitudes are only labeled from zero to 180°, both east and west. If you start at zero (the Prime Meridian) and travel 185 degrees west, the longitude you arrive at is marked "175° east". 41° north/175° east is the location of a whole bunch of water. It's at sea in the Pacific Ocean, about 1,940 miles east-northeast of Tokyo and 2,080 miles northwest of Honolulu.
No point on Earth can have both a north and a south coordinate (unless the point is on the equator, where the latitude is zero so it doesn't matter whether you call it zero north or zero south, or both).

That's in Sheffield park, south of London.
There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
All points that are exactly mid-way between the north and south poles are centered between the extremes of latitude, and they're assigned the latitude of zero. There are an infinite number of them, and if you draw all of them on a map, they blend together to form a line, which is called the "equator".
