I've never really used it to get around, but since it tells you your speed, I did use it to make sure my golf cart went 20 MPH. When I bought the cart, it seemed slow and I wanted to verify it could go "full speed".

Since the tunnels and some of the golf cart paths aren't all on the maps, or even right next to roads, it could be tough using it for routing as it would assume use of the streets. So unless you had a general sense of where to go, it may not help. For instance, those little cut-offs into neighborhoods or between some pathes wouldn't be there.
