If my parents need to find somewhere and our sat-nav isn't helping out, and I'm in the car, I'll usually bring up Google Maps on my phone.
Excellent, and has not yet let us down. I've only used it for finding things in town, so cannot comment on how good it is in terms of long distance journeys.
But if any of you have a smartphone, Google maps is quite a good way to go

Tosh and nonsense, I'm sorry to say.
I'll happily use a satnav, phone or purpose-built. But I wouldn't be without a decent map, and prefer the A-Z (for the 'junctions' reasons given earlier.
On your phone, can you scribble against m-way services 'Yuck' when appropriate, mark way points for a treasure hunt, or quickly find a route around congestion just by a glance?

Yep. Yep.
