Is there a scientific explanation about orientation capabilities?

I have always been very bad orienting myself in places. I get lost very often even in places where I have lived for years.

I recently read (from an unreliable source) that this happens because of the lack of crawling as babies, but I don't know if that is a ridiculous foundation or not.

Is there really any reason why I am like that or am I simply dumb?
