    Explanation
    This is used to tell directions on a map because maps are visual representations of locations and their relationships to each other.

    Explanation
    The cardinal directions refer to the four main points on a compass: north, east, west, and south. These directions are used to navigate and determine orientation in relation to a fixed point. North represents the direction towards the North Pole, east is the direction towards the rising sun, west is the direction towards the setting sun, and south is the direction towards the South Pole. These directions are commonly used in maps, navigation, and giving directions.
