Aphantasia and a Hearing Imbalance here (affects internal GPS and orientation). Direction? What is that? Please make google maps functional inside buidings, including inside public toilets, so I can find my way back out. Been trying a new trick, I talk to myself while navigating. I remember what I said to myself and it actually seems to help despite remaining completely directionless and unable to notice if 2 routes merge later on.

Understanding if you indeed have Aphantasia could help you deliberately use other memory types to help remember things. If you know visual memory is missing, you could for example tell yourself things, which uses auditory memory. Visual memory is only one type of memory. Trying to rely on or use visual memory, not knowing you have Aphantasia, can feel like a lost cause or you could even frustrate yourself.
