I think asking for directions is often conceptually wrong. Everyday knowledge tends to be implicit rather than explicit. People living in organically grown cities may think in terms of adjacencies, not directions. If you want to go from point A to point F, one route goes through B, C, D, and E. Except that points B, C, D, and E may not have names, or the name is irrelevant in everyday life. It may even be difficult to describe what those places look like.
