a map can show direction by....

  1. compass rose (north, south, east, west)
  2. lines of longitude (lines going up and down) and lattitude (the lines going sideways

- the middle longitude line is called the prime meridean. the middle lattitude line is called the equator.

3. the scale... ( the length of the line is usually an inch that represents 100-500 miles) the scale is located towards the bottom on the map.

4. a map can also show direction by a "map key" if it has one
