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. :-)
