I use GPS to get me from this house to that address. I use dead tree
maps when I need to get from here to about there. Miss Lisa is a fine
map reader/navigator. Though she and I differ on how to fold a map.

Mr Squirrel, you need to spend a bit more time teaching your primary
navigator how to interpret route instructions.  Maybe see if there is
a rally club in Bend. A couple TSD rallies under her belt and you'd
never complain again. Nor have reason to. (of course, your marriage
might well not survive....)
