Do you remember how to get somewhere when you've only been there once? My partner is always going 'oh, yes, you know how to get to such and such a place...' and it was like 2mths ago we went there once and I have NO IDEA!

I'm not so bad on the direction thing - it must be a biologically built in homing mechanism,
what I'm amazed at with blokes is how they remember stats, like obscure lines from films or every record the Stones recorded in a basement in Twickenham in 1986 or some such, I find it difficult just remembering peoples' names

I am good with remembering places. But I do drive an 18 wheeler, so I have become accustom to this. You don't want to get a 53' trailer into some place it doesn't belong. lol. Not good! And I try never to get directions from a woman. They are horrible at giving them. example; "Go till you see a dress shop, turn right, then go till you see a convenence store, turn left, etc...." lol. And I sometime get the answer, " ummmm I don't know, I just get here". Wheeeee lol.

I understand that most chicks have no directional sense what-so-ever. If you took most of my friends to the end of their street they probably wouldn't be able to find their way home again.
However we are not all hopeless! I recently went back to somewhere I had spent many holidays as a child, I have not been there in over 10 years but I still knew my way around. Guess it just depends how much attention you pay.

Nope, sorry, I only need to do the journey once and I tend to remember - but I have spent a lot of my working life (motorcycle courier and chauffeuse) on the road an dmost new destinations are usually small diversions from established routes
Men tend to be the cr***iest navigators though

Yep, i have a built in navigation system. i'm yet to get badly lost anywhere. If I DO take a wrong turning like on my somewhere that I've never been before, I generally seem to get back to where I was supposed to be going, and even found a better way sometimes!

No problems I'm afraid - even when it was years ago and abroad. Also I love map-reading when walking in the countryside. My Mother was the same, however my son is the complete opposite however hence I navigate and drive - even in the Paris rush-hour.
I enjoy reading maps and getting to understand the lie of a piece of land - even if I don't get the chance to go there.

Myself and a girl I work with, had to go to a meeting about ten minutes away from my house. My husband gave me the directions written on a piece of paper. We took the wrong turning and got lost for three hours. We live in Scotland and we were on the M74 heading for Carlise. So I suppose the answer is - No!

Yes I do. I've got a great navigational ability and pay attention to what's going on around me. I drove from my home in northeast Missouri to San Diego and only looked at my road atlas about 3 times the entire trip. And from some of the answers on here, I'm really worried about being on the road with some of you, so please, stay out of Virginia.

I only have to go somewhere once to remember it. I don't remember road numbers though. If I go anywhere I remember my surroundings. When I go and stay with my friend who lives 400 miles away I get there by using buildings, bridges, and petrol stations. It's wierd but I've never got lost yet...
