Directionally impaired?

What's worse is being the navigator and saying turn left... and then driver turns right.

 

My ex, a friend and myself would go to garage sales. PJ would say turn left and then point right. Julie would point left and then say turn right. Then they would condradict each other. It was a circus with those 2. Best part.. we were driving around an area they both knew on the Windward side if O'ahu!. The whole island is like 20 x 40 miles. Only thing is to get from point a to point b you have to get thru points c,d,e and f!
Y'all have a great day.

Sometimes I will pull into a truck stop for the 10 hour break then when it is time to go at zero dark thirty as I'm at the exit I don't know which way to turn to get back on the interstate if there are no signs. My GPS will show a blue line perpendicular to my truck icon which means go both ways, then what I will have to do is hit the minus button a couple times to back the map up to a bigger picture to see where the big road is lol.

This was especially a problem for me when I was in training and teaming, being in the bunk when we would arrive at a customer or truck stop then taking over the wheel totally not knowing where I was.

 

If it's a odd number highway, it travels north and south. Odd number highways (except I-99) are numbered in chronological order from I-5 on the west coast to I-95 on the east coast. Mile markers count down if you're southbound, and count up if you're northbound.

If it's a even numbered highway, it travels east and west. Even number highways are numbered in chronological order from I-4 in Florida to I-94 in the northern plains. Mile markers count down if you're westbound, and count up if you're eastbound.

Mile markers represent one of two things: 1) distance to a state border, or 2) distance to the end of a highway.

Exit numbers are either named after the mile marker or in chronological order depending on the state. Pay attention to the placement of the exit number on the sign. If the number is to the right, your exit is to the right. If the number is placed on the left side of the sign, your exit is to the left.

3 digit highways:

Are either a bypass or a spur. You can tell this by looking at the first number. Take I-465 for example. The first number is a 4, and it's a even number. Because it's a even number, that means this highway is a bypass. What the highway bypasses depends on the location, but in this example it bypasses a city (Indianapolis). I-465 will bypass Indianapolis from I-65 on one side of the city and link back up to I-65 on the other side.

If the first number is a odd number (I-135 for example), this highway is a spur. It will take you off a main highway to a city within the state.
