Points of the compass

A 32-point compass rose
A 16-point compass rose
A 32-wind compass card, with English names
32-wind compass with traditional names (and traditional colour code).

The points of the compass are points on a compass, specifically on the compass rose, marking divisions of the four cardinal directions: North, South, East, West. The number of points may be only the four cardinal points, or the eight principal points adding the intercardinal (or ordinal) directions northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW). In meteorological usage further intermediate points are added to give the sixteen points of a wind compass. Finally, at the most complete in European tradition, are found the full thirty-two points of the mariner's compass. In ancient China 24 points of the compass were used, measuring fifteen degrees between points.
