Worst case scenario, download a compass app for your phone, but watch out for scams that will require heavy network traffic

iPhone/appleWatch may have one already, but I don’t know about android

how do people not orient themselves?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Legitimately, how do you? Without prior knowledge of the direction you are facing and the sun is right above you or you can't see it.

Cardinal directions have always been hard for me and I'm only now just starting to use them out of job necessity.

Left and right takes a second most of the time, ask me to look north and it's going to be a long while.

If I'm somewhere new or lost like op, it's just cruel to say "go west"

North is W
West is A
South is S
East is D

... unless you hit Q or E and rotated the camera, in which case you're fucked.

This is the best part about growing up in Colorado. The mountains are west. It's like having a cheat mode compass enabled all the time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Or... the sun is south at noon. Where is the sun at noon? That's south.

East? I thought you said weast.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you are confused, check with the sun. Carry a compass to help you along. Your feet are going to be on the ground. Your head is there to move you around.

Stand in the place where you live. Now face north.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Think about direction, wonder where you are because you remember dumb song lyrics and not navigation skills.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Listen to reason, reason is calling on the same handy device every man and his dog has which will provide a north oriented aerial view of the area in question and even a compass display if the map isn't enough to orient yourself.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago

East is sunrise. West is sunset. The sun will also always be slightly south and even more so in the winter (unless you're in the southern hemisphere then it's slightly north).

If your local area has some kind of landmark like a big tower, or a big lake, learn where that is relative to you and use it as a reference point. For me, I live near a big lake and it's always south of me. It might be easier for you to ask yourself "which way is the lake?" instead of "which way is south?" or whatever your landmark and direction happen to be.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It’s easy, the sun rises in the… oh wait no it sets in the… erm… so what time is it?

I only started remembering which side west is (relative to north) when I started thinking of "the wild west" and then thinking of where the wild west was. Still can't use it in the real world for anything though. At most if I'm at my own town I know approximately where north is, but anywhere else I'll quickly lose the sense of which direction is which.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You're not supposed to intrinsically have your sense of direction in an unfamiliar location. Some people can do that but assuming you're not paying full attention on your way to a new location it's actually normal and expected to have to get your bearings which means taking a moment to orient yourself and figure out what direction is what. And then it's easy to forget (let's say you step into a store) until you build a sense of landmarks. Also the more dense a location the harder it is because it's more complex.

OK but no you know where the sun rises and sets if youre in a familiar place atleast

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

No. I keep trying to go but its always too far!

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 days ago

Do I look like the person who would get lost in a familiar place?

Actually, don't answer that.
