I still remember the first day at university. My plane was delayed, and I missed the first day orientation. The bus dropped us off somewhere in the campus. With no map, no guide, hungry and thirsty, I spent the next 2 hours looking for the dining hall by asking for directions, to no eventual avail. Luckily, in the end, two good-hearted seniors took me to pizza and walked me to my dorm.
When I got the map the next day, I realized that all the roads are curves and circles, and intersecting at strange angles, and the buildings aren't situated as blocks. It's almost impossible to follow instructions like "walk straight for two blocks and then turn right", especially at night.
As far as navigation goes, I'll take GPS over asking for directions any day.
