We could use one, and assume we’re operating in the field of complex numbers:
1 N = North i N = West i2 N = South i3 N = East.
And we could use the complex modulus to indicate distance or speed… or we could map the Riemann sphere onto the surface of the earth and use a single complex number to indicate location.
