All right, I'm going there: I assume you're a man. If so, you should always have a rudimentary understanding of where you are. Before you enter any new location, you should ALWAYS know the lay of the land. North, south, east, west: that should be second nature.

And you should ALWAYS know how to get to and from your destination. Even if it's somewhat vague. Geography should be second nature. It's hard-wired in the male brain, actually. Don't eschew it. Embrace it.

Throw the GPS away. Deep inside, you know you don't need it.

If you're a woman, however, ignore this. You shouldn't be driving...

Well, a flycatcher IS a type of bird. Perfect to be spewing such a bird-brained remark.

As it happens, I have an excellent map sense. However, in an urban environment, and having to frequently find unfamiliar locations, it is essential to have a GPS which works well. Much safer also, with not having to divert one's attention to look at maps.

Have you ever driven on the freeways (yes, there are multiple) near Dayton, Ohio? There are zero geographical references. You can only see 200 yards to the next grove of trees.
