Finding the gate

What's the secret to finding your gate when you land? Do you have special charts that give the exact location of each gate, or does someone discreetly show you the way, or what? I've seen airport diagrams but they just show runways and taxiways and things like that, not individual gates. I don't recall ever seeing a "Follow me" car or anything in front of the aircraft on actual flights I've taken. And it seems unlikely that pilots have memorized the position of every gate at every airport. So how do you find your way without getting lost or having to turn around or anything like that?
