The best way would be to look on a map.
The bearing between due north (0°) and south-southwest (SSW, which is 202.5°) is 202.5°. To find the angle, you can also calculate it as 180° (due south) plus an additional 22.5° towards the west, which gives you the SSW direction. Thus, SSW is positioned at 202.5° on a compass, positioned between south and southwest.

compass will NOT give you coordinates, a gps system would. compass gives you directions... west, east, south east... etc. So compass will help you to go places BUT it can not FIND places.
So the people could find their direction around the places they want to go (their destination)
The invention that uses gravity to find direction is the compass, specifically the type known as a gravity compass or pendulum compass. This device relies on a pendulum or a similar mechanism that aligns itself with the gravitational pull of the Earth, allowing it to indicate true north. By understanding the gravitational field, the compass provides navigational assistance, helping users determine their bearing relative to the Earth's magnetic poles.

AnswerThis is very difficult to answer because, if you check the map, you will see that New York State actually sits at an angle to true compass points. Without a compass, the best indicator would be the rising and setting sun.AnswerThe bearing to Mecca is 59.49o from due north. This was determined using a qibla locator using Zip code 10001 as a point on origin. This only good for relative bearings to Mecca.Use the Maidenhead Grid distance and bearing locator to find a relative bearing between any two points on Earth. You will need to find the QTH codes for those points with the QTH locator with Google Maps.
basically in a compass is a needle which is magnetic. The magnetic field of Earth attracts the north pole of the magnet (which is the needle in the compass) to the north pole of Earth. Same thing goes for the south pole of Earth
Any city or geographic location can be used as coordinates if you take the compass bearing of them. The reciprocal of those bearings could then be used to find your present location by a method called triangulation.
I used my compass to find my way out of the forest.
by using compass or compass mobile application in your mobile phone ,,you can easily find kaaba direction,,,,kaaba is at west,,,
You can find an angle compass at most office supply stores or even at some grocery stores
