For those kinds of things I don't use directions. However, If we actully going to drive that far inbewtteen place, I'd have plenty of time to add contacts while stopped at red lights along the way.

I rarely would use it for most personal driving. Obviously I don't need directions to most places that I go often. For business though, I often find myself picking up stuff at multiple places, dropping something off somewhere else, stopping in at our jobsite for a bit (don't need directions for that). I'm going to places that I don't know exactly where they are, and from places that I'm not normally in. The GPS can tell me the best way to get between these places. While I'm driving, I don't really need it while driving on the main roads, but once I get to the local streets, my eyes are just bad enough to not be able to read street signs very well. The GPS can take me right to where I need without having to worry about looking at street signs.
For many of my friends, I have no idea what their street number or street name is. I just know how to drive there. Storing their address means that I don't have to look it up when I want to send Christmas cards, or something like that.
