That's pretty much how I navigate when in a strange city. I always Know what direction I'm headed, so I rarely get lost. As a former surveyor, I think my head for directions stuck with me. This is what I have in mind. garmin.com However, ManyMoose had an interesting comment about not wanting one because he wants to keep the spatial relations part of his brain limber. That's a valid point. I've always been good with directions, and if I had one of these things that I relied on, I'd worry that my direction-finding ability would wane.

Me too. As long as I know the direction I'm headed

That's pretty much how I navigate when in a strange city. I always Know what direction I'm headed, so I rarely get lost. I'm like you. The only problem I have is when I fly into a strange city at night, especially if there is cloud cover. It's hard to get your bearings if you can't see the sun. In a grid street layout, I NEVER get lost. It's only when the streets take off into culdesacs and blind leads that I have trouble. Even then, if I were on foot, I could get where I am going.
