Recent Conversations -Wayfinding

The whole wayfinding series, mostly from 2011.  I did quite a bit of research for this and made a number of observations I think are still interesting.
How We Give Directions
Wayfinding - general
Wayfinding - Hunter-gatherer
Old Route 28
More Wayfinding
Wayfinding and Gender Differences - Evolution
Wayfinding and Stonehenge
Inner Navigation
Inner Navigation II
Update: A recent paper on spatial navigation.
More Wayfinding 2013 
Note on Wayfinding 2012
Mapmaking 
Spatial Memory
