Luis is taking his girlfriend, Rosa, to a resort town neither one of them has visited.

When Rosa says, "Where to next?" Luis conjures a mental image of the map and says, "art museum." Let's assume the garden was six inches due south on the map and that it took Luis four seconds to scan the map image between the two.
