To map a variety of compass directions to find a possibly common location try 
this: http://googlecompass.com

It starts in Barcelona, Spain, but the map can be moved to the USA easily by 
backing out of the close in view with the control in the upper left and moving 
the map over where you live. I use the optional full screen view. 

Once the map is located over your location, for example Atlanta, click on show 
compass in the lower right. Move the compass over your location. Swing the 
compass with the mouse, or type the direction desired relative to True North 
(Magnetic North + - local variation) in the upper right route window. Click on 
the menu in the upper left corner, and manually resize the arrow’s length to 
suit. 

It’s not perfect and there may be others that work better.
