Non-speakers/readers of Russian: how do you navigate Moscow?

Mr. travelmad478 is coming with me on a business trip to Moscow next month. I'll be working during the day, and he's going to be exploring the city for four days without me. He doesn't speak or read Russian. Since I have never been there without Russian language skills, I'm wondering how easy/hard of a time he'll have getting around. He loves taking metros and buses and walking around to explore cities. I'm getting a city map for him with both the Cyrillic and Latin versions of the street names and metro stops. Any other suggestions? I'm just hoping I won't get a frantic phone call from him when he ends up stuck at Yugo-Zapadnaya or some such place
