I have no idea where I am, ever, unless I've been there literally a dozen times. Even then it's not a guarantee. If I wasn't actively paying attention I won't just passively pick up knowledge about the route. One of my personal rules is to treat rotation as if it's an ultra complex operation only computers should do. I won't even try to read a map that's not oriented to match reality, and I will assume I got the map upside down unless I have multiple references points to confirm(Phone compasses seem to mess up more than the actual GPS...). I also regularly confirm direction by making sure the GPS says I'm actually going towards where I think I am. I will check the map again after every turn, I assume that any rotation invalidates whatever nonsense I think I know about where I am. If it's unfamiliar enough that I even think about using a map at all, I am very careful because of how many times I've gotten lost a block or two away from my destination and wound up going half a mile the wrong way following upside down maps. This extends to other areas of life. If I have to compare any two things in different orientations I assume it's a high failure rate part of the project. One would probably assume this causes me a lot of mental discomfort... but luckily I also have maybe a bit too much trust in computers. I can always just use my phone. If it ever runs out of battery I can ask for directions. If I ever decide to solo hike or something like that, I will probably get a book on navigation and study as best I can, but also bring a satellite beacon.
