To define how the apartment is located concerning parts of the world, quite simply. As a rule, approximately it also is so clear if to be guided by the sun, but if are required high accuracy, then it is possible to use additional methods.
- - compass,
- - smartphone with GPS,
- - computer with Internet connection,
- - handle or pencil.
1. The easiest way to define the North which comes to the first to mind – to use compass. On the device of domestic production the North is designated as With, on foreign – N. The device for certain is available for each fan of campaigns on the nature, also it in the decorative purposes sometimes equips the souvenir bracket clock. Happens that producers place compass on the normal watch.

GPS devices are available practically in each smartphone today therefore, most likely, at someone from family members it is obligatory to eat in phone electronic compass which will help to define precisely where in the apartment the North. Sometimes, that the device has worked truly, it is necessary to walk a little round the house with the included function of compass.
3. One more way to define the North which a few years ago many would consider exotic is available to residents of megalopolises and large cities. Open Yandex.Maps or Google.Maps and find the house there. Correlate its arrangement to the card, so you will understand at once where in the apartment the North.
4. In the absence of engineering devices the good old empirical methods brought nobody yet. It is possible to define parts of the world by the sun. However, it is the best of all to do it in days of spring and autumn solstice – so the result will be the most exact. The fact is that in the summer and in the winter the trajectory of rising and sunset is a little displaced. But if it are not required for astronomical accuracy, then it is possible to define the North and in the summer. The party with which the star appears in the morning will be the East. If to rise the person on the East, then to the left of you there will be northern part of the apartment.
5. If houses are windows to which light gets at noon, then take the handle, establish vertically on any surface and trace where will specify its shadow. Exactly there in the apartment there is also North.
