That's one of the benefits of map-reading skills (and a good sense of direction). There will always be times when the unexpected crops up. And if I was prepared by actually looking at a map and rehearsing how to get there, then it's a lot easier to make things up on the fly and use a bit of dead reckoning to get to my destination. There are also plenty of times where technology (battery life, internet connectivity, etc) still fails me, and I'm glad I had a plan going in, other than "listen to her voice on the GPS."
