I grew up in a small (30k pop) city in "rural" Missouri and had no idea when I was going when my parents drove me around as a kid. I got older and started slinging pizzas and learned every nook and cranny in the whole town. This was before google maps took over. It's cool to learn every which way to get around a small town, but probably not that important in the grand scheme. I'm happy to offload this computation to my smart phone these days.
