Map orientation means turning the map until features drawn on the map line up with features seen on the land. Compass readings of at least three known points (church steeple, river bridge, road junction, etc,) can help pin-point your position once the lines are drawn on the map - your position on the map is in the small triangle where the three lines meet.
