Taxi drivers in the US are generally pretty sensitive to people's perception that they are racking up the fare. If you know a little about the geography they are generally pretty happy to discuss the route and use your preference if you say you'd like to go that way.

if you can learn a little about the streets up front, and use a map application during the ride... just talk to your cabby

maybe someone should pitch the 'human interaction' app, which just completely abstracts all social and retail interaction instead of just chipping away at it bit by bit
