I have been married to a guy who has a giant atlas in his head. Not only
does he rarely get "lost" (and by that i mean he missed a turn or something)
he can remember how to get to a place (for example) that we've been to only once before, and a year ago without the address.
I, on the other hand, am more normal. I need the address, and even after living in this city for almost 30 years, I still keep a map in the glovebox because I need it. OFTEN. even to get to places that i have been to LOTS of times.

There are a lot of bike rides that we do that to this day, I don't think i can do them alone, not because I'm afraid, but because I don't know the route.
you're not alone!

Guys like my DH are freaks, very useful freaks but freaks nonetheless.

give yourself a little space and time and credit. slow down and relax.
