Comments on that link are very negative. I'd say they are coming from people that have very little experience in driving through unknown countries and cities looking for certain address.

I just came back from a longer trip. Navigation saved me tons of nerves and prevented me from circulating in search of a target street. Try to stop and ask for directions on a 6-way highway...
