Regularly. There are three potential routes I can take to work and which one is best depends highly on the traffic that hour.
I usually only need to glance at the map for the first turn to see which route it picked for me and after that I really only glance at the arrival time.
I used to live in Maryland and work in Northern Virginia. It was a 42 mile drive, but a fast commute was 90 minutes, but could be over 3 hours. I wish I had gps back then to give me traffic info and route navigation.
Are people really using google maps during their regular commute now?
It has access to traffic data and is pretty good at estimating trip time
Yeah my commute is either 7 minutes or 30+ depending on traffic so it’s nice to know which before I get on the freeway

With as often as folks have to change jobs these days, it doesn’t surprise me.
Some people also work at customer sites that change often.
Yep. It takes me around traffic.
Once Google Maps directed me through the scenic route to work. Turns out there was a massive crash on the highway.
Not only would I have been late I would also have to survive traffic hell.
It also tells you where speed traps are ahead of time. I’ve always wondered how the cops feel about Google snitching on them like that.
