Haha I grew up before smartphones and GPS navigation was a thing, and I never could navigate well even with a map!
GPS has actually been a godsend for me to learn to navigate my own city way better. Because I learn better routes in first try.

Navigating is probably my weakest "skill" and is the joke of the family. If I have to go somewhere and it's 30km, the joke is it's 60km for me, because I always take "the long route".

But with GPS I've actually become better at it, even without using the GPS.
