    I never use the compass app. I simply pick a direction and walk. Wherever I stop is where I truly wanted to go.

    I haven’t used a compass in years except to prove I knew which direction the building was in for my boss.

    Knowing when specific stars are at night and where the sun is (where shadows point) will tell you where north is. Knowing this stuff is why I can’t really get lost. One time I tried but even in dense forest, the shadows never lie

      In my city it’s even easier, there’s a friggin huge volcano right to the west, the city it’s built at its foot. Just look at the volcano and left is south, right is north

        You can get lost in the middle of nowhere but I always wonder why finding a direction seems to be such an endeavour for most/so many people.

        Sun rises in the east, sets at the west. Face the sun, on your left is west, south is behind your ass.

          Sun is not always visible, where I live there is frequently completely uniform grey skies. Also depending on your latitude and time of year you’ll have to adjust or you’ll be quite a bit off.
