Hi bilko. Those two phrases have the same meaning and in general you can use either one.
There's a small difference in usage: 'go straight on' is often used after some place that you mention (e.g. 'After the traffic lights, go straight on') and I think 'go straight ahead' is less common for this.

I would look for a map of the city on the internet

I would tell a policeman if he could help or if he would not ask people

Well, if I have a cellphone with internet I search the location to the place I wanna go, but if I don't have one, I look for someone to ask him to tell me some directions to the place that I want to go.

I see where I am, and I call to my mom.
I call my mom, if she doesn't answer I call my father, but if he doesn't answer I call my sister and finally if no one answer my call I just open waze and walk around.
I would seek help from other people
When I´m lost the first that I make is check on my phone the map and check where I am, then call my mom or my dad and say them that I´m lost and that come for me.
I use my cellphone or I ask someone the name of the street.
I usually use my phone, and search maps or call my mom
Now knowing the directions I will not lose when I ask and they tell me if it is on the right or left
Usually, before traveling I look for a map or use GPS, in this way I know the place. In any case, if I get lost, I ask someone how to get to my destination.
I always look for someone who is close and ask how to get there.
Depends on the situation, if I do not know where I am then I would go to the police or the other would be to mark someone to pick me up where I am or that a person would give me directions to a police station to mark my mom.
