I swear every time science comes along and tells me this is what men do be, I’m always the opposite.
I navigate entirely by landmarks (Well Google Maps these days).
I navigate by not navigating and just accepting that the second I left the house I was already lost.
I nonbinarily roll my eyes. Maybe the cartographile in me just keeps me in the right direction lol
You do you bb
I believe street names are part of the "male method", so Google Maps uses that method.
If it said "Turn right at the intersection with the big police station", then it'd be the "landmark method".
I mean, landmarks don't make much sense to use on a 2D, birds eye view map
It could with businesses. Turn left past the McDonalds. Keep going until you pass the empty plot on your right, etc.
