Ahah never heard transit-brained before. That always fascinated me. I could never relate to my friends having a hard time with directions. I could always look at a map and compass and find my way.
I remember reading somewhere that due to increased reliance to automated navigation systems, people are losing physical navigation skills.
I think for me, it’s just difficulty with training steps, the same way many students struggle with the common ways of teaching math, but are great at it once practiced.
I used to religiously follow directions around my area. Now, I bring my smartphone for safety, but I often find myself navigating without it.
I’d still struggle with paper alone, since there would be so many turns I’d want to verify - and quite often, street signs are obscured in some way.
