I've long thought this must be the case. On a regular basis, I fish at a lake in a town 15 minutes from my home, and do not know how to get there without GPS or a friend in the car.

Without GPS, I can navigate to places several hours from where I live currently, that I would go frequently in high school, before I had a smart phone or standalone GPS. I kept a printed set of MapQuest directions to popular destinations under my passenger seat in those days.

I recently purchased a bare bones GPS for my motorcycle [0] that only displays the direction of the next turn, how far away it is, and roughly how far along the trip I am. I've found that after going to a destination once or twice with that method, it's much more committed to memory.
