So much this! GPS ego perspective directions prevent developing any kind of mental model. It's the same reason I hate that trains in Germany now only show when the next train comes. When I was a kid they would show the time and optionally the delay. I always knew when each train was coming because you learn the schedule automatically. Now it's impossible to automatically build that mental model.
