I have to admit that given an unlabelled map of the UK, I'd struggle to find Leeds (my nearest large city)
I moved here as an adult, and seem to have a knack for choosing to live in places quite a way from the sea.
If you labelled Sheffield, Manchester or Bradford, I'd be able to find Leeds better. I know where I am in relation to them. But we're labelled North-West, which doesn't help. Blackpool is North-West.
Same with Aylesbury being South-East. East of what? Cardiff maybe?
I can read a map. Surprisingly well for someone with dyscalculia. And I can pretty much place all of the locations in that article. Although it helps having been to Scilly. And you seriously want me with you when navigating London, because even if I don't know the route, I know what's next to what, if you get what I mean. So if we're going to Tower Bridge and we're in Waterloo I can get you there.
But I'm an old lady now. And I've never owned a car with power steering, air-conditioning or GPS. You know what you have to know, or what you had to learn. I'ma gonna need someone to help me grow crops when the zombie apocalypse comes for example.
