    I intentionally have north is always up on my map app. It is easier to recognize cardinal directions while doing terrain association, and it makes passengers upset.

      I clued into this many years ago and my sense of direction has been massively upgraded ever since. I always have a mental image of the Google Maps (facing North) of a place, even when I’m visiting a new place. As a result, it is much faster for me to plot new places in my mental map. Definitely a skill worth developing!
