I am happy to hear that you are good with maps too. I was in the scouts for a long time and we really have excellent scout programs in my country. One of the things we had to learn was maps and not just regular map reading but the mathematical one or the military one if you will, with azimuths. To this day, if you give me a ruler, a compass, and a protractor and I will calculate miracles :D I never got lost in my life, not ever. :)
