You simply ask the person for their postal/zip code and that's everyhting you need to program google maps, earth or any of the gps' out there.

It doesn't work for NW pilots though, they seem to overshoot the destination by an hour or so. I don’t even bother with the “local knowledge” version of directions these days.
