Yes, our directions were based on NSEW coordinates

Example:

From the southeast corner of the church, go north 200 meters then west 50 meters

I rarely use GPS, I can read (and used in the past) paper maps and rached my destimations without knowing where north was. That's very interesting. Did you have to navigate some large open area without roads, where the direction of north is necessary? I never knew where north was even before GPS...
