I actually agree with you on this!

But... I have very very good directional sense, and as far as I can tell it's innate. My whole life I've been able to remember pathing and maintain proper orientation. I don't think this has anything to do with lack of navigation aids (online or otherwise) during formative years.

But I'm talking about geospatial sense within the brain. If your point is that people no longer learn and improve the skill of map-reading then yes that should be self-evident.
