It's the most natural thing in the world, once you get used to it
(as I did when I lived abroad).

It just seems awfully counter-intuitive the first times you come
across it.


Maps shouldn't be counter intuitive and have to get used to them.
Anyone
should be able to glance at them and read them in seconds. Otherwise
they're
useless. If you're in a car and using a map to find somewhere do you
orient
your A-Z depending on what direction you car is facing? No , of course
not.


There are people who find that the easiest way to navigate.
