I've been to the US several times. And still all my opinions are based off the TV and movies.
I spent a reasonable amount of time in what you'd call the midwest. The rest of the world would say east. Maybe north to north east.
My favourite thing about the midwest is almost none of it is even west of centre (approximately Kansas). At best, it's .. mid.
So, starting with this information I can deduce the average American doesn't understand an atlas. Or a compass.
