> What are some good tactics on how to use Google-map on your cell-phone?

For navigation?

1. Don't activate navigation. It's broken six ways to Sunday, and burns through battery like there's no tomorrow. Use route preview instead (i.e. the step after searching, but before activating the voice nav proper).

2. Use your fingers to rotate the map so it always faces the same way you're going.

3. If confused, recenter and press the compass so it rotates to have North at the top, and continue from there.

Now FWIW, I use Google Maps when navigating on foot/scooter, or as a pilot in the car. If I were a driver... I'd probably buy TomTom or whatever nav that's not shit.
