Sometimes theres traffic and the gps lets you know to avoid it!

Yeah, I always use navigation even on very familiar routes. Saves me time when there's an accident or unexpected event ahead of my route.

We were delayed for an hour on an already painfully long road trip once because my dad "Couldn't imagine why the GPS would recommend that" right before steering us into a traffic jam.

Right, and road closures. Even if I know the route like the back of my hand, I turn on navigation for the real-time information.

I've been saved many hours of sitting in traffic thanks to notices of road closures, car crashes etc
