For which cities - in which you've never lived - do you have at least a vague mental image of their topography?

I.e., you know what quarters are next to each other, and roughly where in the city the main sights are located, without looking at a map.

For me, it's

New York

Los Angeles

London

Paris

Berlin

Amsterdam

That's about it.

(I'm European, btw.)

Strike Los Angeles from that list, It's Vancouver you keep seeing.

Pretty much all the major cities in the US & Canada; less so overseas. But why would I ever give up maps? I love them. I love the way they look and feel. I can spend hours just staring at them, imagining I am there.

R2 I have stared at maps and atlases since grade school. I am a "built-in" GPS but DC still stumps' me probably due to its odd meridional layout.

I mostly only know places I've lived (SF, LA, Sacto, DC) but I know Las Vegas well enough, and San Diego. Any place I've spent at least a week in and had a car I probably have a general idea about.
