| - | The '''points of the compass''' are points on a [[compass]], specifically on the [[compass rose]], marking divisions of the four [[cardinal directions]]: [[North]], [[South]], [[East]], [[West]]. The number of points may be only the 4 [[Cardinal direction|cardinal points]], or the 8 principal points adding the intercardinal (or ordinal) directions northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW). In meteorological usage further intermediate points are added to give the sixteen points of a [[wind compass]]. | + | |
