    Nope. I was frequently late when using any number of open sat navs without traffic info. I end up reverting to close Waze or Google Maps.

      Yeah, it’s hard to overstate what a big deal real-time traffic data was/is. And I have to wonder, how many traffic jams are prevented - or at least reduced - by it. How did we manage before Waze et al.? We were just late a lot more.

        I (and i suspect most people who cared to know) listened to a local radio station who reported on traffic during high (or abnormal) traffic periods of the day.
