How can a north poles of a magnet help when you are lost?

The north pole of a magnet can help when you are lost because it can act as a compass. When suspended freely or allowed to rotate, the north pole of a magnet will align itself with the Earth's magnetic field, which points towards the North Pole. By observing the direction in which the north pole of a magnet points, you can determine which way is north and navigate your way.
