[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 324901, member: 9789"] You can do this.... Just like Chanahon said. You can learn your area. Generally, each city has a center point and in a lot of cases there are streets that are similar in address going a certain direction. Find where the streets intersect with the " Zero/Zero numbers. In most cases there is a consistency in the way a city maps the area. Study the map to find this. Odd numbers are always on one side of the street and jump by a certain number consistently. Numbers get larger going North - South - East - West - depending on the direction of the street. Conversely - those numbers get smaller as they get to the "ground zero" or center point of the city. When the numbers rise again you have crossed over that center line. I learned all of this from other drivers! You can go on the weekend and cruise your area to learn where streets are and get familiar with them. Every street you cross look at the street sign and take a mental image of where it is in relation to the direction you are going. This is something you can learn. Do not sell yourself short. Now go and pursue that career!! [/QUOTE]
