I've been driving to places "for the first time" for many years and have found that, usually if not always, the place you you get lost is the last mile or so, where a wrong turn can take you away from your destination rather than towards it. The Sat Nav [I now use a bespoke Garmin Unit that links to my phone for traffic updates, Cameras, Weather Etc, but have found that google maps on my phone works just as well], will guide me around the local area that is not signposted to the actual address I need, Anyone should have enough of an idea of where they are going to get to the general area using Major roads, [so heading for somewhere in London and the Sat Nav taking you to a similar place name in Glasgow should not happen]. You do see the occasional cheapskate trucker stuck in a country lane because (s)he decided to use a cheaper Sat Nav designed for cars.
I recall many years ago travelling to a major chemical plant in the English countryside, I found the village it was located in using the major roads and signage, But the plant was not yet on a map as it was a new build and I spent an hour or so looking for the new access road [unsigned down a lane between two buildings that I had driven by on several occasions]. A few weeks ago I was asked at a gas station for directions to a property in a new part of the estate I live on, I did not have a clue, but my phone gave me [and the visitor], perfect directions to the address, which was in walking distance from my home
