A GPS in NYC will get you to your destination, but it wont necessarily take you by the best route---and that can be the difference between getting there in time or 2 hrs late.
As a native new yorker, I'd say that a GPS is fine, as long as you understand its limitations. The best routes are often times not the most direct...in fact that is the case almost always.
I can get just about anywhere in NYC within about an hour---traffic or no-traffic...but then again, that is 30+ years of observation.

P.S. If he lives in Queens, get him the GPS...that's one gnarly twisty place.
