Another data point, I grew up in a small town outside of Amarillo and now live in Fort Worth.
I went down (south) to Lubbock for College and over to Fort Worth (east) when I graduated. I still head over (west) to Lubbock occasionally because I have a sister going to Texas Tech. I go up (north) to Amarillo to visit my parents.
Maybe it's just me, but I haven't really noticed anyone using "out" to describe a direction. People do head "out" and go "out" all the time though.
