About Direction Map Cardinal Points Android App

Different cultures have assigned different meanings of cardinal directions.
Colors are – undoubtedly – very essential part of everybody’s life. Colors are everywhere; right from the most picturesque places around the world to the screen in front of you. But there’s something more about colors rather than just shades or tones; colors represent the five basic elements that the whole world is made up of namely fire, earth, metal, water and wood. This capability of colors to represent the five basic elements needs special mentioning and attention and that’s why reading this article about feng shui colors is very important.

The four cardinal directions or cardinal points are the directions of north, east, south, and west, commonly denoted by their initials: N, E, S, W. East and west are at right angles to north and south, with east being in the clockwise direction of rotation from north and west being directly opposite east. Intermediate points between the four cardinal directions form the points of the compass. The intermediate (intercardinal, or ordinal) directions are northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW). Further, the intermediate direction of every set of intercardinal and cardinal direction is called a secondary-intercardinal direction, the eight shortest points in the compass rose to the right, i.e. NNE, ENE, ESE, and so on.

Along the points of the circle, north is zero or 360 degrees, east is 90 degrees, south is 180 degrees and west is 270 degrees. When reading a compass or a map, cartographers and explorers typically orient themselves facing magnetic north using a magnetic compass, which means east is to the right, west is to the left and south is behind.

Cardinal directions are used in many applications such as cartography, travel, sailing, astronomy, geography and orienteering. Mapmakers commonly put north facing upwards on a sheet of paper. Sailors use gyrocompasses to determine a ship's alignment with true north. Astronomers use cardinal directions to describe the locations of stars in the sky as they relate to the celestial sphere.
Points on a compass such as northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest are called primary intercardinal, ordinal or intermediate directions. These points are exactly halfway between the corresponding cardinal directions on a compass. The terms north, south, east and west are derived from Germanic words that replaced corresponding Latin denotations.
