Having an unflappable sense of direction/true north is not transhuman though. You just have to have been raised speaking any languages that uses geographic coordinates instead of the typical egocentric ones. Such as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guugu_Yimithirr_language#Grammar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guugu_Yimithirr_language#Gramma.... to form the required mental processes. If you dig deeper you find that although they also do also use relative coordinates, they are performing what sounds like crazy affine transformations when doing so. "The apparently effortless conceptual operations required to employ these short and ubiquitous cardinal direction terms are complex, requiring not only a highly developed “sense of direction” (and memory for terrain, routes, landmarks, etc.), but a simultaneous merging or juggling of what appear to be separate frames of reference (in Levinson’s sense) embedded in even single lexical forms, which maintain the “absolute” orientation which is in principle independent of particular terrain or of any given reference point or orientation, with the “relative” calculation of origos and focus points, with the “intrinsic” geometries of natural landmarks and their orientations in space." http://www.anthro.ucsd.edu/~jhaviland/Publications/ETHOSw.Diags.pdf http://www.anthro.ucsd.edu/~jhaviland/Publications/ETHOSw.Di...
