The argument makes a lot of sense to me but this particular example somewhat falls flat. When I started my new job, I used Google Maps to learn the optimal route for a couple days until I had it committed to memory. Then I didn't need it anymore.
For a place I am going to exactly once and then probably never again however, why would I want that information to take up valuable brain space? In a pre Google maps world, you spend probably twice as long taking a less optimal route that goes in that general direction, then driving around the area for a bit longer until you hopefully stumble upon what it is youre looking for.
