I agree with Phil2 mate.
At school I was taught 3 o'clock is 90 deg & 6 o'clock is 180 deg.

South-east is a compass point mid-way between South and East. It is at 135° clock-wise from North.
There are 32 compass points.
A compass dial from North and back around to North in a circle covers 360°.

it is the point on a compass equivalent to 4.30 on a clock ie half way between east(3.oclock) and south(6 oclock)!
Compass points reading from the top (12 oclock) and going clockwise are:-
N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW and back to N
For points in between it is a combination of these points ie
midway between NE and E would be ENE
Hope all this makes sense

if you think of north as 90degrees on a circle, then south east is 315degrees. its the direction directly midway between east and south. if you go midway between south east and south, thats called south south east, and the same for north west, north north west etc etc

North is always 0 or 360 degrees.
SE is half-way between South (180) and East (90),
so it is 135 degrees.
What's going on? People saying 315, 225 clockwise??
----------------- SE is 135 degrees ----------------------
