People with bad sense of direction, can you enjoy open world games?

I have always liked open world games as a concept, but I have a very bad sense of direction. So whenever I play open world games I keep getting lost and frustrated. Eventually getting bored and dropping the game. I am curious how other people with bad sense of direction cope with this problem.

Yes as long as the game has a good map system. I hate it when some games don't have an option to rotate the map to where you are currently facing.

This would be the worst tool for someone with poor sense of direction. The best would be a map fixed north to the top, so you don't have to keep track of your direction at all. Spinning maps make even us peeps with a decent sense of direction a bad time
