I'm going to be spending alot of time on Google maps

So I'm moving to Boston next week. I go from being a country mouse to a city mouse.
I'm a little nervous because streets in Boston go every which way. My friend who lives there said the way he got familiar with it was he would look up places he need to go on Google maps and commit it to memory. The more places he went, the quicker he got familiar with the area. I think I'm going to do the same.
