The ability to navigate and the ability to read a map, are two different things. Are you aware of this?
Like many skills, the ability to map read comes with practice, but I am afraid senses of direction are innate. That is why, those who can navigate well often find it hard to imagine someone who can't remember locations even with repeated visits.
And if you think that's bad, there are such people who can't do both. Can't read a map when they have one on hand and, find it absolutely impossible to orient or navigate oneself even on familiar grounds.
Be patient to these creatures. You can either help by saying "practice makes perfect" and give them loads of practices, or simply offer them a hand - or even better - offer them directions! Never never tell them to get lost, when they are already - very lost!
