Women's sense of direction. What happened to it?

Quote by heaysyandck
erm have to say here as a bloke who went through both scouts and militry map reading ... you do need to turn the map coz it should allways face north:P the north arrows there for a reason ...to show u which way to point the map .. so tho it may look annoying and is a bit of a pain to turn it ..the ppl who turn it are reading it right , just coz leaving the map facing one way so we can read the road names is easier doesnt mean its right

Why can't they read the map the right way up (top of the page is North) so that when you need to make a left turn (ie to the East, remember we're going in a southerly direction), you look for a road on the map, as you're viewing the page, which goes off to the right? Simple, isn't it? You KNOW East is to the right of the page, so when you're travelling South, and you're viewing the map from the South looking North, as it were, you know that a left turn will ostensibly appear to be a right turn!
