Yep.

I use it when I specify the destination for turn by turn navigation.
On the garage/yard sale run I normally do that just before leaving
a garage/yard sale for the next one before driving off.
I did it a couple of days ago too when I went to where I thought
a closing down sale was, discovered that it wasn’t where I thought
it was, got maps.google to tell me where it was, got it to show me
the street view of where it claimed it was, saw that it clearly was
not where it claimed it should be, because I could see that it was
supposed to be next to the pub and I could see that it wasn’t.
So it must have moved and the database had not been updated.
Got google to tell me where it was, and that's where it actually was.
