A couple of quirks:
The city runs heavily on its trains, so an interesting error is not always to point it straight to home, because that could give you some freeway route or something. But you can use a little finesse and for example point it to an address exactly at 6th Avenue and 14th Street, which is one of the lowest of the "sensible grid" train stops. (Not all trains are created equal. I live in Queens so an A train does nothing useful for me.)
And I think I remember on a couple of occasions the Mio was off by a street just because they were all so close together, but then you can "hopskip it" and point it to something like 18th street and it's still off by a street but the point is to get out of the Rat's maze of the village, not quibble over which block you are on. So eventually because the route is longer, it does notice something eventually ... by which time you are home free on 14th.
Tech that speaks Shakespearean English plus your quirky tv character's sideways thinking will work. Just like some crazy TV show. Heh if that ever happens to me I may make a thread styled like a show.
