I use Gmaps in South Africa a lot. The traffic detector feature is super useful however it hass got me into some hairy situations. Just a few months back there were protesters burning tires and stoning cars on a road, so there were no cars on the road, so Google Maps took me straight through it. That was intense, no damage luckily. Then not much after that an area in the Cape Town CBD became flooded due to heavy rains, and Gmaps directed me and a few other unsuspecting victims straight into it due to there being absolutely NO traffic. Suppose the warnings take longer to filter through the system than the traffic updates.
