It's just the ticket!
I have a friend who is always getting her directions wrong.e.g. She was absolutely adamant that the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, Australia was on the South Shore! Reason? "Because I lived right near it and didn't have to cross the Harbour Bridge to get to it." (You WOULD have to use the bridge if you were on the south shore...) I explained that the reason she didn't have to cross the harbour was because she was already ON the North Shore! We had a good laugh and I got her this lovely boxed compass for her birthday to help her "find her bearings!" The gift arrived in just a few days from the US and is just as described. VERY happy!
