Yes, though I think it could be justified as a separate skill or at least familiarity. If you're trained in map and compass you don't necessarily know about the shady sides of trees or whatever, fair enough -10, but that latter thing is knowledge you can learn separately from how to use a map.

Midshipman: Sir?
Captain: Young man, we are on sacred soil. By your calculations, we're in the middle of Westminster Abbey.

I want to use that in a game with teleportation.
