Don't get discouraged! My hubby, Dave, is terrible with maps and such. He would get lost in a paper bag (and admit to it!). It takes him a little longer to find his way, but eventually he does. I am usually in charge of all directional travel when I am with him. So please don't get discouraged, sometime it just take a little longer to learn your bearings and get a feel for things.
Have fun!
