I use and like Google Maps for navigating, but it does have some quirks.
Sometimes I find I need to move the starting location to see the route that I want. And for local buses in Tokyo, it often has a mix of untranslated Japanese and romaji which can make it a little difficult. We ended up on the wrong bus from Mita station because we didn't realize there were two different local bus systems stopping right next to each other. Both the stop and bus were clearly signed in English with Minato Community Bus but that wasn't in Google Maps.
