We surly have a number of wayfinding studies or orienteerers that suggest that a very few have superior performance.
Some people can find there way during the day without a watch, compass, or any other device.
This is true even on a dark overcast day is which the sun does not cast shadows because it is so obscured. There are some people who can do this at night. Forget about the shamans. Studies have failed to find anything other than some craziness among a few. All rights reserved.
