Did you ask them more like "Can you pull up Google maps?" Or "Do you know the way to 5th Street?"

The first one would make me question if you are trying to steal my phone or something, but I might pull out my phone to help you with the second.

Good tip for would-be phone thieves: ask for directions, your mark may not think twice about pulling out their phone.
