Agreed, that isn't just London, in NYC it is the same way. There are seasonal changes in traffic that can completely alter the route you should take to different parts of the city that seem illogical. Navigation systems don't currently take that into account.
- streptomycin 12y agoWhy don't they? Google normally seems pretty good about recognizing changes in traffic patterns and selecting alternate routes.
- psaintla 12y agoNot really, I live about an hour outside of the city and carpool in everyday. I can tell you first hand that Google is always late in recognizing traffic pattern changes. It's actually become a bit of a joke amongst our car pool because we get the alert once we're already stuck in traffic.
- gambiting 12y agoA good taxi driver will recognize that if there is a major event in an hour, it's better to avoid some routes, even though Google maps might still be showing them as perfectly clear. They won't be in 30 minutes.
