I don't know whether it's purely due to Se polr (I think LIIs will have an easier time than I do), but one way it manifests for me is through my terrible, terrible sense of direction. And I'm not exaggerating
. Place me basically anywhere that is unfamiliar to me, give me a map, and watch me still struggle to find my way for the next few hours. I was hanging out with a new student in school and she ended up having to lead the way (via a route new to me) to the destination on campus that we wanted to go to, when she had only been here for a few weeks, and me, over 3 years...
It's also why I still haven't attempted to learn driving. I don't feel confident that I will not endanger my own and other people's lives when I try to navigate my way on the road while being in control of a dangerous machine, aka, a car.
I still haven't found a solution to this problem, but I guess having Google Maps is somewhat of a help when I'm lost, especially the ones that guide you step-by-step, like a GPS.
