I want its opinion on traffic once - before I leave - and that’s it. Once I’m on the road, I absolutely do not want to hear its suggestion to change 3 lanes to catch this next exit.
Then you lose traffic updates. I use Wayze, and it suddenly switched and told me to take a turn and I followed it and neatly circumvented a jacknifed truck and probably a big delay.
I don’t want traffic updates. They keep changing my route to a complicated one I didn’t want, to save like 1 minute in theory. If I could change it to opt-in route suggestions instead of opt-out route switcheroos, then I might like that feature. I am not available to use the phone while I am driving the car.
I loved my old standalone GPS device until it was stolen.
Once I’ve got a path plotted, I switch on airplane mode so Google Maps can’t throw me any curveballs.
the main reason I use navigation is for traffic, though
but if you know that’s not going to be a concern, absolutely a good idea
