I only can read maps well when north points up. Otherwise I confuse where I am and also mix up left and right turns. This is independent of the direction I want to go to. On the other hand, I'm totally incapable of choosing the right word for left and right. There is absolutely no link in my brain with the direction and the words. So when I tell people where to go in cities, they have to get accustomed to paying attention to my hands that point left when I say right and vice versa. :-) **Henrik
