    I believe it’s more of an age thing to be honest. I know plenty avid hikers who couldnt tell where’s south on a sunny day at noon, and have to navigate via maps when walking to a restaurant two blocks away, most of them without symptoms, but under 33.

    However, also my ADHD friends over 35 are pretty good in finding someplace after a quick glance at a map before starting.

      That’s a lovely little theory, but I’m 42. This isn’t about growing up with the apps and becoming overly reliant on them.

      Back before GPS apps were an option, I’d just get lost all the fucking time. To me, they’re like a prosthetic leg where before, I was just hopping around on one foot, figuratively speaking.
