Oliver's german approach to this question is correct...
I can't remember street names for shit, but every route I've taken sticks in my head like wet dream sheets. I remember things from the oddest little indicators, the color of the door on the turning, etc.
I recently found I could train this semi-photographic memory, but have not been able to translate it to studying yet. The last place it came in handy was a bookshop- and I weirded my girlfriend out with it.
I used to start by following bus routes, because they zig zag all over the place so inevitably you can get fairly close to where you want to go without really trying hard.
oh and don't ever follow mashton.
