Maps, both the digital kind and the paper versions. They help you find where you are, where you need to go and how to get there. They make you realize how small your part of the world really is, and how much is out there.
The fact that you have a digital map in your phone, that lets you see any corner of the world and zoom in to street level is just amazing. Include GPS and you have an almost all-knowing guide who will help you get to where you need to go in the fastest way possible.
