Yea Geo. I am with you. Never been lost in "Big Woods" of North America, Southeast Asia, Europe, Central or South America or jungle islands of the western Pacific. Probably because I had woods for my playground from very early age and developed a different set of observational skills than city kids. However subway systems are places of terror where direction, and distance are warped. And I know to never enter a mall without a professional mall guide(i.e. a female). Your suggestion about using a compass inside a mall gives me hope - assuming I ever am forced to enter one again. The limited number of times I have been in a mall I didn't find any gun shops and males my age seemed to be required to sit on benchs in small groups placed around the central corridor for that purpose. Perhaps they were lost too or is that a location used to drop off older men like unwanted cats?
