I had that for a couple of them. I didn't recognise the actual map at all, but the place names were familiar!
It is really tricky. I end up sort of throwing vague search terms at google and hoping.
I can just about listen and walk somewhere if the walk is very familiar, and I have had some success whilst on exercise equipment, but only if it's something where I don't have to think at all about posture or technique - so no rowing machine or cross-trainer or whatever - because then I'm thinking about that and my brain just tunes the sound out. I can however read on a treadmill, which was handy when I was an undergraduate (or, the last time I regularly used a treadmill). But yeah, it means that I tend to be a theoretical fan of podcasts and podfic but rarely actually listen to them because if I'm going to be sat still on my bed doing nothing else, I might as well just read a book, right? And I use knitting as the time to catch up on TV.
