Yeah I try as much as I can to look at the map and analyze where I am going and then memorize the landmarks and things that I need to turn at, follow etc. to get to where I need to be. You know, the old fashioned way of following directions! :D Drive to "X" street, turn left then drive past the school and turn right type of stuff. This way I get better at the geography of the area and don't need to be told where I am going by the GPS and am able to keep the location turned off.
