I'm a North American living part time in Seoul and I get lost using and cycling in small streets all the time, they turn and take random directions and my internal compass doesn't realize I'm now facing East when I thought I was walking North. I prefer cycling on smaller side streets but it's way harder to "guess" my way around detours unless I'm using a map app. I've seen delivery drivers do the same on their scooters, so I guess they feel the same unless they're very comfortable with a specific block. As in, they don't try to guess detours using some mental model of street layout: they check the map. Also I've learned people don't give directions using cardinal directions: there's no such thing as "walk North on Seorae-ro" (or at least I was told). Which I guess makes sense since the streets on which this would be a useful mean of communicating directions are very few.
