Before, you had the map. So you were aware that Fitzroy was to the west of Collingwood and both were south of Clifton Hill and so on. I had dozens of these suburbs roughly mapped out in my mind.
Driving down an unfamiliar road, one could use signs to these suburbs as a guide. I might not know exactly where I was, but I had enough of an idea to point me in the right direction.
That skill has disappeared.
