My wife gets nervous when I don't turn Google Maps on immediately.

"Babe, we're still in the neighborhood and it's 120 miles until I need directions."

She's not from America and the long distances astound and confuse her. Also, just figured out why she gets antsy about a turn coming up in 2 miles. She's still thinking in kilometers.

The benefit of using gmaps on long trips is it will alert you and reroute around traffic. So yeah you may not need directions until you get to your destination... but you may be stuck in traffic for hours because of a traffic accident you were not aware of.
