Onan, '...any twit can press 'go to'..." etc is the full story.

If it clarifies things a bit, substitute 'sit with the instruction manual & learn to push the relevent buttons'.

The point is that you still require fundamental navigational skills developed through practice & experience to be able to determine when the magic box isn't doing what you expected, and as a back up for when it fails.
