um....,the sun doesnt always rise in the east.
using a compass is a better idea but even a compass doesnt point to the true north.
a hand held GPS device is good but not easily available to everyone.

if in the night u can depend on pole star.
if in the day know the angle of inclination of the magneticcompass in ur place and u canfind out the true north

By using a wrist watch with an hour and minute hand. To find south point the hour hand directly to the sun. The 12 numeral will point you to the south.
You can also tell north by observing trees. Their north side being shaded from the sun oftentimes has a greenish growth on the northern side.
