  • 21.6% - Terrific, it’s called the Global Positioning System. 214
  • 10.8% - All right as long as I see the sky for celestial navigation. 107

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

My sense of direction is excellent. If I am outdoors can tell which way is north pretty much by instinct. I've never been "lost" and the few times I've gotten off the correct path it was easy to find my way regardless. Once I've been somewhere I can always find my way home and back there again without referring to directions. If all else fails, I know how to read maps.

My wife, on the other hand, can't make it around the block without turn-by-turn directions.

I was thinking the same thing. My sense of direction has always been very good. Yes, I am a man. Real men can ask for directions and then use those directions. Strangely my father can get lost with GPS.

And to top it all off, a pilot. The most humble form of life on planet Earth! ;)

When my wife and I started dating I bought her a Garmin gps for Christmas (the first year they werent outrageously priced [2007]). She never had been great with navigation. I figured I had done a good deed. She still falls into the poor navigator category. Poor thing. Good thing I drive EVERYWHERE we go.
