On first my road trip as a driver, I too used the ancient lore.
I can't read maps for crap, though, and was really relieved when I could print out driving directions from Mapquest and memorize them, but pull over and consult the directions if I doubted myself.

When I had to go somewhere new, I did the Mapquest + memorize method until I got a TomTom many years later. I still have the TomTom, but it's obsolete with smart phones.
