Several additional things to watch out for...

1) Get the exact address & watch out for North & South embedded in the street name, think Salt Lake City where every intersection seems to be North or South 225th Street.

2) You can get GPS turn by turn as left or right or more expensive... by street name.

3) The fastest route is not necessarily the straightest, least turn path!

4) If you get lost...do the un-Manly thing and ask someone nice for directions (if in New York City be prepared for a bit of course language or other uncivil behavior)

Happy navigating...oh it saves a lot of aggravation between you and your significant other...
