Adele Reah from Devon does urban and mountains without map and compass.

You can do a cut down version of their tests here and there is some interesting reading here about the four mountains test (also debunking the myth that women aren't naturally good at spacial analysis).

Would be interested to see how top orienteers would do in the four mountains test, and also how much this sort of spacial awareness can be trained.
