Capitalise the cardinal directions when they are referring to a specific region of a country (eg: Northwest America). Do NOT capitalise if they are used as directions (eg: Looking north...).
According to Webster's New Essential Writer's Companion, you should not capitalize the cardinal directions or compass points, north, south, east and west. However, if you are referencing a particular part of the world, like the Middle East, or in the US, the East Coast, those should be capitalized. e.g., I live in the South, now. Turn left down my street, and I'm on the west side of the road.

The words north and south, in North America and South America, are capitalized because they form part of a proper noun, the name of the continent. When referring to "the east half of North America," for example, the word east is not capitalized. The proper noun is North America and east just describes a part of North America.
