In a survival situation, you will be extremely fortunate if you happen to have a map or compass; even better, both. If you do have these pieces of equipment, you will most likely be able to move towards help. If you are not proficient in using a map or compass, you must take the steps to gain this skill.
There are several methods by which you can determine direction by using the sun, the moon and the stars. These methods, however, will give you only a general direction. You can come up with a more, nearly, true direction if you know the terrain of the territory or environment.

Compass
This compass doesn't always point north. In fact, it has the ability to point in every direction at some point in time. Whenever you are viewing a compass, it will always point to your spawn point. If you have built shelter somewhere or have begun to settle, use the command "/spawnpoint" to change your spawn point to the location you are currently in. No matter where you are, this compass will get you home.
