Directions~Just Got My License~Need Help Getting From Poing A to B.?

Question

alright i just recently attained my license, and i am at a loss for where the h**l i can navigate my own city obviously. But i take note of my friends/elders who just seem to know where to go. I have already been told to look at a over head of the areas around me. But lets say im on Rachel Rd. and i know im supposed to get to Charles Rd. but which way on Rachel Rd. would i go? E.A West East South North? Please help in as much detail and help you can provide. thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Gads, this is amazing that you and many others are given driving privileges and no one gave you navigating instructions.  One more reason teen drivers have such a high rate of accidents.  

But at least you are smart enough to realize you are lacking very important skills.  First equip your car with a compass.  Second buy a detailed local map.  Find where you are on the map and orient the map to the compass.  Top of map always is north.  Then get someone to drive and let you navigate using the map and compass.  Once you have mastered those skills invest in a GPS.  

Learn good driving skills which will keep you from getting in accidents.

Cheers and good luck
