Good navigation ability and sense of where I am in relation to landmarks, places and even celestial bodies. Also works for time.
Some of my friends need phone GPS just to get around the city they’ve lived in for 15 years!
Jup, I have the same ability. Even in big, unknown cities I almost always find my way back. It's almost like it's saved in 3D in my brain.
I also always know where north is, even inside a building.
Nice. There are dozens of us.
I made a remark about where north is while in a building for a work conference a few weeks ago (the views were nice), and realised the person I was talking to had no idea what I was talking about!
I do, but only because it knows about upcoming traffic and construction so I can avoid it altogether instead of having to react once you're stuck in it.
