Dad has OnStar, so whenever I go somewhere without a local guide (aka friends), I rent an OnStar enabled car. You ask them for a route, and they download it in minutes. The biggest single advantage is they download the latest route including construction. I heard they were going to add the capacity to route around slow traffic.
True Story: The piano mover asked for directions. They showed up hours late and said "Lady, you do not live off Exit 5" Wife replied "I have lived off Exit 5 my entire life". After the truck left we discovered the government had changed it to Exit 54 at midnight. It took three weeks for them to post a teeny, tiny sign saying "Old Exit 5". =
