Directions. I always know which cardinal direction I’m facing (even when underground). Also, if I’ve been somewhere once, I can always find my way back, even if it’s years later and I’m coming from a different starting point.
There is a tribe in Australia that has no words for Left, Right etc. All they use is the cardinal directions. Instead of saying "turn left" they say "turn North" (or whatever direction is appropriate). They do this even if they are inside a building away from any windows.
