Which azimuth value represents true South on a map?

Azimuth is the angle measured clockwise from true north. True south is simply the direction opposite true north, which you reach by turning halfway around the compass from north in the clockwise sense. On a map, that means pointing straight down from the top edge, opposite the north direction. Among common options, the one that points directly opposite north is the correct choice. The other directions lie to the right (east) or to the left (west) of north.
