Yes.

Invariably, no matter what, I always go the wrong way first.

If I remember that, and then go the opposite way of where my internal compass says to go, then I still go the wrong way.

It's a remarkable curse. XD

My mind doesn't really have a map. More like places I know are isolated islands in a fog of war with no relation to each other

That's what I'm like! It's just landed masses with foggy bits

Very much the opposite--I have always had a strong natural sense of direction.

My partner’s brother was like this when he came to visit us. He’d drive in a random direction for a while and then call and be unable to describe where he was.

That's my honey who is more OCD than anything according to his therapist. However I can remember how to get back to that house party 30 years ago that one friend of a friend drove us to. Navigating happens to be my superpower.
