Wearing a vibrating compass anklet for a week. It improved my navigational skills tremendously.

Did you find the navigational skills lingered when you were in the same places (i.e. if you wore it around campus, you would then have a good map of campus) or did the improvement in skill disappear when you stopped wearing it?

The skills lingered, and for some amount of time, I was able to "feel" where the compass would be pointing in many places I visited while wearing the anklet.

From memory, I'm still able to tell the general direction of the magnetic north in many places.
