Do you travel around town a lot for work? Why do you use a navigation app when heading home for the day?

  To find the least congested route to home from office and vice versa. Though I know all the roads around here (Bay Area) I still need google maps to find out which one is least congested.

    That makes sense. I guess it's a mixed bag having many possible routes home

  The city I live in is not flat, nor rectilinear, nor logically arranged. Therefore, algorithmic traffic modelling is hard, statistical models from previous data aren't reliable, and shift happens. I can visualize the way, or the map, but I only have a very general idea which route is least congested now; enter traffic crowdsourcing, and voila...oh wait, it's all congested anyway, as the other Waze users get rerouted to alternates.
