here's the best idea of all: read the goddamn directions before you leave and know where you're going

stymie is right. mostly. sometimes you might get directions, and then oh no there's construction. or an accident. and now u gotta reroute.

but yeah basically just look at a map and have a good sense of direction. nav is for chumps.

if you know which direction is north and which direction you are going it's easy to reroute without gps. this one weird old Navajo tracker trick makes google mad.
