> I don't want to have to store a bunch of location or routing data in my head.

hmmm, given how closely memory is linked to spatial navigation sense, and not just in humans, but in evolutionary terms-- think squirrels remembering where they buried nuts, birds and fish remembering migration routes, ...

suggests the ability to store location/routing is foundational to much of intelligence.

Even simple tasks, typing, for example, depends on my knowing where the keys are. Imagine if your keyboard re-organized its keymap randomly every third keystroke.

I thought that it was discovered that squirrels don't remember where nuts were stored. They just kinda guess and enough of them doing storing and then some make it work on average.
