Summary:
"When looking at a map, the first thing most people look for is the compass rose. It presents the cardinal directions and orients the map reader. Without a compass rose, it would be very difficult to find anything on a map! In this book, the main text explains how to use the compass rose as well as what the cardinal and intermediate directions are and mean. Full-color map examples allow readers to immediately apply what they've learned and use a compass rose and cardinal directions to find their destination!"-- Provided by publisher.
