North is UP.

It's not the map.  It's having no idea where you are or what direction you are facing while giving the direction.

 when you are facing your computer screen. The top is north the bottom is south your right hand is east and your left is west but I guess a compass wouldn't hurt none ether.

:huh
im just saying in ur pic, your not heading SW. SW is 225 degree, your heading like 230-240 degrees which is closer to west, therefore, your heading west-southwest.  :noid
