My personal rule is that I can spin in place, but I can't move and certainly can't google anything. That said, it's a game where you pretty much make up your own rules.
Can't google shit, sure, but sure you can move. Just as if you were dropped somewhere on Earth and had to figure out. First tip to get is "do they drive left or right handed" :)
Question is, were you dropped somewhere with or without a smartphone? :-)
My personal rule is absolutely no googling. I've been tempted to print out a list of all the phone area codes and take it with me in my virtual alien-ship-to-random-destinations since that is something I could actually do were I preparing for such a scenario.
