Yes, it's used likely in the boats with captain's boat, but normally it's used in the sea not in the land or on the city at least if you're speaking about the some airplane, but I have never herd it in the a driver car or other place that doesn't be in the army or navy.

Get fun.

Aquí sí usamos los puntos cardinales (N, S, E, O). A veces, para denominar O (Oeste) se usa la nomenclatura en inglés (W). También sus combinaciones: nordeste o noreste (NE), suroeste o sudoeste (SW - SE), nornoroeste (NNW - NNO), etc. Se utilizan en carreteras (toma la carretera que a al Norte y desvíate por el primer camino hacia el Este), indicaciones de viviendas (mi piso tiene orientación sureste), observación de las estrellas, etc.

De paso, ¿cómo se dice punto cardinal en inglés?

Well really your commentary is very real, because normally it's mostly used in the a compass, when you are in the desert is very opportune use the compass for guide through of the arid desert for instance Shara desert, you can use the compass and use cardinals points, therefore, the said in the first post is true.


Sincerely yours.

Well, I use cardinal directions in my daily life, I don't need to be in a desert . Just a moment ago I've just told somebody to take a street which is parallel to another by the south.

Sí, estás en el desierto

Tendrás que acostumbrarte si quieres venir a España. Muchas autopistas tienen nombre de los puntos cardinales. Pero no sólo las autopistas, también las rondas, las autovías y las entradas a las ciudades: autopista del Norte (mucho tráfico, por cierto -Ap1-), Ronda Norte de Granada, entrada a Madrid por el sur (aeropuerto de Barajas), etc.

muchas gracias amiga. Aquí también se escribe el punto cardinal En los signos para que se pueda conducir fácil. Siempre es bueno saber a dónde es el norte

In the contrary from Spain to Mexico here people use likely the word ( He perdido la orientacion ). That I believe is the same than Spain saying but they are very similar between them.

Yes, you also can say "perder el norte" when you are disorientated, or when you're in a bad situation in your life (for instance, if someone looses his job and he has to start again looking for a new job) (...and when you're getting crazy, too )

In Mexico they often use nortearse en lugar de perder el norte.

Cierto, David. "Nortearse" es más coloquial y "perder el norte" más poético.
