I usually have a god sense of direction. We went on a trip to TX once and the rental car place only had a minivan left, it had an overhead console with compass. My wife had fun covering the compass and having me guess which way we were heading and I was always right. We went to DC andother year and rode the subway. After getting off the subway in the middle of downtown DC and coming back up to the street I had to walk to a corner and locate the street signs and locate it on the map and even then it took me a while to figure out which way was which. So even with a good sense of direction there are times you can get turned around to where you loose your way. I want to pick up a small one myself soon.
