I used to be just as bad but something that helped me out a lot was making the map always oriented with north as “up” on the gps. It takes some getting used to and I don’t recommend it for complicated drives off the bat but it’s been a game changer. Now I actually know which streets go east/west vs north/south and have a general “map” of the city in my head since it always looks the same on gps now.

You sound like my cousin’s kid. Some years back we had to explain to her why knowing how to read a map is important.

I have no sense of direction in cities but when I’m in the forest I have no problem with navigation
