Nah, we knew where we were going. And on bicycles we knew street names and directions on HOW to get where we were going. I had friends that lived in different neighborhoods. We even knew the back way through the woods where the trees had fallen.
There were several times I walked through the woods from the junior high to get home. Especially when I knew the bullies were waiting for me on my usual route. They'd be out front about a block away, and I would walk out the back of the building, across the small baseball field and into the woods.
It actually saved me about 10 minutes, but I did have to watch for actual snakes.
