Compass Rose

A compass rose is a design on a map that shows directions. It shows north, south, east, west,
northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest.

On the compass rose above, only north is filled in. Fill in the rest of the directions on the
compass rose, using the standard abbreviations:
N=North, S=South, E=East, W=West, NE=Northeast, NW=Northwest, SE=Southeast,
SW=Southwest.
When north is at the top of the compass rose (as it often is), south is at the bottom, east is on the
right, and west is on the left. Northeast is between north and east, northwest is between north and
west, southeast is between south and east, and southwest is between south and west.
