When you're lost, walk downhill, or downstream, until you reach the sea, or a McDonalds.
If you reach an Arby's, you've gone the wrong way, crawl back into the wilderness, it's safer there.

Petshop Boys actually.
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.
Think about direction, wonder where you are because you remember dumb song lyrics and not navigation skills.
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.
It's that way right where I'm pointing
Looking North, West and East spell "we".
Sorted.

But you have to memorize if that's CW or CCW. I'd forget.
It's the saying i learned as a kid. I'd picture a compass and repeat the words.
It’s easy, the sun rises in the… oh wait no it sets in the… erm… so what time is it?
Noon 😏
Just think of the beauty and the beast song. I'm not even joking thats how I do it
Where does your manifest destiny pull you? There you go
It pulls me into the fetal position for a good cry
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.
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.
West is sunset....
'Relatively'
If you don't specify the point of reference, I will use the world's west as it's conceived. if not, say "your left" or something.
I think they mean it's not straight West. Depends on the season and the longitude as well.
Close enough west it's ok if they tell it in such a causal manner, I suppose?
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
I feel like while your phone has battery, there are easier ways to navigate than a compass.
The Sun rises in the East and sets in the west.
With East on your right and west on your left you would be facing north.
You can tell which side of the equator you are on by the way water swirls. Northern Hemisphere water drains clockwise. If water draining has no spin then you're on the equator.
Sometimes the moss on trees is enough of an indicator, as moss growing on only one side of a tree means no sunlight reaches it and the moss faces the direction opposite of the equator.
