You might like the browser map game Back of Your Hand, in which you are quizzed on the map locations of your own town. But beware, if you normally navigate by GPS, or if you know how to get around but never pay attention to street names, you will not do well. I scored 80% on my town, because there are some subdivisions I've never been to. You can change the location by zooming out on the map and then zooming back in elsewhere, like the place you grew up in. I did much worse for the place I grew up in, because it has changed considerably in the past 40 years or so. Another tip- zoom in and replace your pin on the road before you confirm your choice, because you'll be penalized by how far your guess is away from the correct answer. Good luck. -via Boing Boing

I know like the main highway and like 5 streets maybe, so not really. I mean, I know buildings/landarks really well. And memories at said places.

I might have done okay at this when I was a kid, in the immediate vicinity of my home, but my awareness of road names has dwindled to near zero. I'd previously noted how annoying it was when radio traffic reports would mention a problem referencing a cross street, and how largely useless that is.
