I've used it with the phone in my pocket a number of times, and the instructions work well enough as long as you can judge distances. It can also be set to "bong" if you go more than 10% over the speed limit.

It did crash on me once, which was unfortunate, as I ended up going in a straight line for miles before I realised!

That said, Google Maps should be very much the same, but I much prefer the interface and instructions from Waze. Waze has additional community/gamify features which I've largely turned off. Thankfully you can!
Is this off line?
