I use a map or a database. Many people use GPS.
For other methods, check these sites.

Then, post a couple of your specific questions and your answers. I'll be glad to help you from there.
thank you so much. ok well here is an example my teacher gave us:
the position of Patras.
5°=300'
300'=5.6cm (the height of the square on the atlas.)
5.6=300
3.6cm (the distance from the bottom of the square to the city)
3.6=300 divided by 5.6 multiplied by 3.6
3.6(cm)=192(')
=3°12'= 38°12' N
