The Silver Chair, ch. 1:
"It's an extraordinary thing about girls that they never know the points of the compass," said Eustace.
"You don't know either," said Jill indignantly.
"Yes I do, if only you didn't keep on interrupting."
The Silver Chair, ch. 2:
Scrubb was quite right in saying that Jill (I don't know about girls in general) didn't think much about the points of the compass. Otherwise she would have known, when the sun began getting in her eyes, that she was traveling pretty nearly due west.
Apparently "more than a year" later, in
The Last Battle, ch. 6:
And after that [...] it was hard to pick up their bearings. It was Jill who set them right again: she had been an excellent Guide in England. And of course she knew her Narnian stars perfectly, having traveled so much in the wild Northern Lands, and could work out the direction from other stars even when the Spear-Head was hidden. As soon as Tirian saw that she was the best pathfinder of the three of them he put her in front.
