[QUOTE="Analbumcover, post: 2982773, member: 63725"] Your first few days blind you'll have an ORS out with you so that will help since he'll have a tablet and can tell you where to go. Usually if you're some sort of cover driver you'll be on the same route for a few days then switched to another route. This can give you time to get acclimated to the route. Don't be afraid to use a GPS from time to time. It's frowned upon by a good number of people on here but it can help you in a bind. I used my GPS for the first week or so on my peak route then slowly weaned myself off of it. Try studying areas on google maps when you go home and try memorizing certain large businesses, landmarks or housing developments as reference points on your route. No one is expecting you to get it instantly. You'll most likely have an "a-ha" moment a few weeks in. We all did. [/QUOTE]
