I do not think in terms of maps at all. I do think in terms of choosing to go left or right.
You have probably heard directions like, go straight until you get to the big tree, take the left path towards the creek...
Basically, I remember what choices to make at different spots. I used to be a pizza delivery driver. I could work out where houses were based on the street and number. But it was always an iterative process. I will remember what sequence of things should happen at points. And going to new places is always harder, because maps don't help me much.
