And I'm willing to bet you do it like road rally competitions before GPSs became common. There was a driver and a navigator, and the navigator wrangled maps and told the driver what turns and routes to take to stay on course and complete the rally, hopefully faster than the other contestants.
I assume your GF drives, and you access Google Maps via smartphone. That's fine if you have a driver and navigator. It's less fine if there's only a driver, and current car mount GPSs do real time status updates to track just where you are, and can give you audible directions about upcoming turns so you don't have to be looking at the GPS display.
Google Maps is splendid, but it's not a true GPS.
