I find it easy to do map skills & compass rose. I find this easy because it's in my opinion, easy to look at a compass and see which way is north, east, south, and west. What I struggled with most was coordinates. It was more difficult because it involved mapping 1 set of coordinates on a place of the whole world. It is made difficult because you have to be exact with your latitude and longitude. Map skills are necessary because they help you find stuff on the earth, and once your learn them mapping and finding on the earth will be a lot easier. They help me better understand geography because they help me learn how to use a map properly.
I agree with your opinion that compass rose is easy and coordinates are hard. although I struggled most with coordinates because I always forgot to check if it was north, east, south or west and would reach the coordinates somewhere else.
