I'll go Cavan road/GJR... ?

The building on the bottom left of the intersection would be Solver, and the car/parts yard looks familiar... crash repairer?

I don't know anyone from Greenock, I have a mate in Seppeltsfield (sp?) though - and he took me through the Brewery there. Very nice.

Actually, a lot of the maps are easy because Adelaide is well designed.

Knowing the flow or roads, the way suburbs are formed, and an ability to imagine yourself standing there make it easier.

Knowing what places have industry/housing is useful. What roads have what lanes, strips down the middle...

There's only certain main roads that are E/W or N/S exactly, and some that are at certain angles.

Country towns are harder to work out, but if you can see the entry/exit points, and what direction they come from you can work out more information.
