    I always remember places I've been, helping me a lot with directions, usually if I've driven somewhere once I can find my way back. If only I had this memory with the things that truly matter. :reverie:

    I guess I'm pretty normal when it comes to finding my way around. I rarely get lost, but when I finally do I'm usually really lost.

    I never got me and BoB lost the first time we met. ... I think I do ok, but I don't really know if I'm good at it or not. I'm good when I'm in my own neighbourhood because I know it like the back of my hand.

    Default Hello sailor!

    I'm really good with directions, so I'm always stuck as navigator on road trips and stuff. I can point north at least 50% of the time, no matter where I am.

    Put me in the middle of the woods with a map that has elevation lines on it and I'll find my way out, easy.

    The messenger is standing at the gate
    Ready to let go
    Ready for the crush
    Too late for whispers
    Too late for the blush
    The past is mercy
    When the future is aglow

    I have no sense of direction. I don't even know everywhere in town and I've lived here for 12 years (and it's not big).

    I really need a sat nav so I can drive to places and not get lost!

    i'm kinda good. but also partly due to the fact that its so damn easy to get around in here. i mean, if i get lost, all i have to do is to get on a random bus, which will, more often than not, be near a train station, then just take the train to my town and walk home. its real simple.

    BUT. i'll probably do real badly in another country with a different system. so in fact, i AM lousy in directions.

    Part of being able to navigate is looking at a map and making a note of the relative size and scale of places. another part is always being able to do the triangulation in your head of where you came from, regardless of how many turns you have made.

    This is why I only get lost in NES games.

    For example, I got lost my second day in france because I took the bus the opposite way, but I could tell i was definitely being lost because we were moving toward the A-36 we'd driven in on and my host parents the day before had not driven me toward there.

    I'm pretty good with directions. I've had to stop and ask people for directions to places I've never been to if I don't have a map, but otherwise I'm usually okay.

    I'll be honest: I REALLY SUCK.

    Yep. I remember at school a zoo excursion I went on. All my investigation partner and I had to do was go right to the crocodile area.
    But no. We had to stare at the map and go left, even taking us through places that was staff only! (Of course we didn't think it was at the time) It took us about two and a half hours to get the the crocodile area.

    Me and a friend were orienteering for a PE class and we managed to get off track and suddenly found ourselves having to cross an area overgrown with black thorns and stuff. I've never had as many scratches as I had after that.
