Abstract
We surveyed 1065 adults across the adult age range on measures of GPS use, spatial anxiety, and self-reported sense of direction. Results are consistent with the concern that younger adults may be negatively impacted in developing their navigation abilities, and consequently experience more spatial anxiety due to reliance on GPS.
