I think it's more a question of Han trying to impress who he assumes are just a couple of local hicks than him not knowing the basics of space navigation.

Obviously inexperienced farm boy and old man with dated mannerisms: "We want to go to a big important planet on the other side of the galaxy,
now, because we're apparently in trouble with the law or something, or else we've pissed off someone we shouldn't have".
Han: "Well, you've come to the right place. My ship made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs...And it has a point-five doohickeytron engine with bullshit injectors".
Farm boy (wide-eyed ignorance): "Really?"
Old man (Trusting): "Why, that does sound impressive, good sir".
Han: "Yep! Which is why I'm charging the
perfectly normal rate of half a zillion credits which, being such experienced space travellers, you
know is a good bargain!"
Or something.
