However, I still don't know my right from left and have a terrible sense of direction and space . . . I wonder if I'd be better at this if I had a more definite laterality?
Can only answer about my own experience: In spite of using both hands, I have a good sense of direction and an excellent sense of space.
Neurobiology is so ferociously complicated!

I am not quite ambi, but can use my right well. I am a lefty. My mother is a lefty, but uses her right for things like cutting (she was even a right-handed hairdresser as a young adult). You can put me in the middle of nowhere, and I will find my way out. I can tell when I am in a building with a basement, a crawl space or on a slab. I know when I am sleeping on a bunk, throughout the night. My mother cannot find her way out of a shoe box. LOL.
