I’ve been able to discover new routes in my area using navigation after a decade. Case in point: 9 times out of 10 Google Maps will navigate me out of my neighbourhood via a backstreet that crosses a main road. The suggestion saves a minute or two because you are able to avoid two sets of lights. This route doesn’t seem obvious, because intuition dictates waiting to cross a main road at an uncontrolled intersection will take longer. Miraculously, it doesn’t.
