That's pretty much how I do it. The interstates in the US make it simple to get to just about any major city, and friends might boggle a bit, but they can tell you what the minor highway/street you need to look for and give you a landmark.
...It really drives home how the old horror movies weren't unrealistic in folks getting lost randomly.
I remember the 80s or early 90s, where there were phonebooks in pay phone booths. The first or last pages were maps of the local area and an index of street names, so if you needed to find "groove street" it would be on map 5 section F3.
