A2say it out loud

The street that is not on the map

Your phone is dead, the street you want is not on the paper map in your hand, and you are late.

Ask one person for the street by name, and say that you are on foot.
Ask how many minutes it takes from here.
If you did not follow it, ask them to point, and say the first turn back.

You did it if

You left knowing the first turn and roughly how many minutes, not just which way to wave your arm.
