> I often had to navigate by mentally walking from building to building.
That's similar to how I navigate if I have to find out if there's a certain kind of business in proximity. I quickly "fly" down the street in one direction, see if there's what I need – say, a convenience store – for about a bus stop or two, then the other way. I'm looking in the direction I'm scouting, but my mind is wandering way further.
I'm also quite capable of finding my way back to somewhere I'd been once, but I won't be able to tell you where it is on the map unless I find something memorable on it and orient myself similarly to above.
