I (a fenale) print out the map. I can't figure out the instructions which usually go something like: drive north for 2.6 miles veer left for 6.7 miles then go east for 2 miles... I get lost after the fourth or fifth instruction. The map is easier to read.

Some folks a visual (prefer maps) other are oral (prefer instructions)
It all depends on how that person processes information.
Personnaly, I'm the visual type. Orient the map to the terrain and away you go. No muss, no fuss no mess no smell and Bingo! you're there.
