the thing with the GPS is it tells you where you are.. not where you're going.
The directions will be vague. It will sometimes tell you "go down Harriet avenue for 3.2 miles, then take rt32 east for 4 traffic lights, turn right onto that road, follow it for 4 intersections, take right onto main and follow main until you hit a fork - bear right and take it to rt 2 north and ...."
So it's not gonna be definate. They may also require calculation - You'll have the ultimate amount of miles to travel, and you'll immediately calculate your average speed. But if you're behind a slow car you'll need to adjust. Some people take the penalty and go with a 3rd passenger just to make calculations.
Honestly, my years as a pizza boy should do me well. However, for this I'll prolly have my codriver visualize a route and give directions, and I'll do the math and maintain the speeds necessary.
Addendum:
It's also a weekend. So my dad may be around at a PC to give me proper directions. He gets my ass out of New York Shitty all the time using real time scrolling from Google. He's pinpointed me down to minute details using satellite over views and street markings. He and I help each other out immensely when we're lost.
