Using Google Maps for route planning? Such convoluted and confusing routes.

I've watched a few videos on youtube, that say Google Maps is a great tool, but when I selected a destination on Google Maps, there are so many left and rights, sometimes a turn every 50 or 100 feet, and it seems really convoluted. There's no way I can remember a route like that without having my phone on the entire time (which isn't feasible 'cause I only have one battery). What's the best way to use online resources and/or GPS without being too dependent on using GPS and making your routes as straightfoward as possible?
