Using Baidu Maps worked fine for me for public transportation directions / walking directions. Often I could search for a location in English or Pinyin as well.
It only gets tricky when you want to take a taxi. Sure - you could show the address to a driver, but I found that to be very awkward and it didn't always result in success.
So my major problem with using Baidu Maps is the fact that I cannot view addresses or locations in Pinyin. If I knew the characters I could pronounce it :)
