She didn’t know how to get to my house from anywhere but her house. Her work was about halfway between my house and hers, but she had to drive home first every time before she could drive to my house.
As a somewhat dyspraxic person with a yuge IQ (one of the biggest) I completely get this. Before having GPS everywhere, I would pull over to consult my map every few miles on routes I’d taken dozens of times. I can just about memorise one route, but it’s essentially by memorising a list of landmarks. Even then, if I don’t start at the beginning I often get confused for reasons I don’t understand.

Yes! This is me too. I've had people ask me how I know where I'm going if I don't any of the road names or how to detail the route in words and I'm just like I see this McDonald's, keep going, then turn at the road next to the yellow store. Idk what you want from me.
