Remember landmarks when traveling. You'll know where you are once you see that landmark again. My dad told me that when we were out in the boat on the Pearl River once when I was a wee lad. I've never forgotten it and I am very good at navigation because of it I think.
With gps it's easy to let navigation skills slip but it's so important. I try to teach my relatives when opportunities come up.
I always try to look at a map before I go somewhere unfamiliar. Digital, paper doesn't matter and you don't really have to memorize anything in particular. Just know what way is north and the general lay of the land to build "shelves in your brain" as someone put it. Then when you see a landmark you've either seen it before on the map or know what "shelf" to put it on if that makes sense
