I have used the Braille compas. it is not very dependable for the simple
reason that the megnetic force is so weak that as we touch the needle
through our finger, it deviates from its original position.

south
Hi,
Get hold of a magnetic compass. A smart phone will help but if you don't
have that, buy a Braille compass or build one yourself. A magnetic compass
always points north. It is easy to follow a Braille compass since the
needle
always swings to the north. There are markings for other directions such
as
north, east, south etc. Move around in a safe environment and see how
the
needle changes orientation. A middle school physics textbook should tell
you how to build one yourself.
Building one yourself would be the best approach.
