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.

Have you used Google Maps recently, on a newer Android device?
It certainly does track where you are, going as far as rotating the arrow when you rotate (while walking), you can search and put in routes and locations by voice command, and when you approach a turn, it does tell you "turn right in 100 meters", "turn right now", and things like "take the third exit on the next roundabout", en when you're on it, it says "take the third exit" again.
