The cardinal, collateral and subcolateral points are widely used by the compass - millennial object of geographical location. Even the most current technologies, such as GPS and internet maps, need cardinal points to guide their cartographic arrangements. Therefore, understanding these points is of fundamental importance for those who wish to use these instruments.
