To play devils advocate, have you ever tried pulling out a map, planning your route, and then driving it?
I'm going to assume not based on your response since you'd likely learn the route after 1 or occasionally 2 times of doing that.
I say that because I work in an area where GPS directions are usually useless and often have to find my way to a new location based on directions, or by planning my route ahead of time. It works really well.
I didn't really, because I can't remember half the route that way. Usually not even a few turns, and I frequently zone out with no idea where I am. Google Maps were a lifesaver for me.
