Which map do you use and why?

Long story short I use google map.

I tried Waze for a good amount of time. I found it was too quick to reroute me and those routes ended up being slower. It seems a problen with not taking into account time for being stopped at lights or something of that nature. My other criticism is the features of waze encouraged me too much to take my eyes off the road to warn about potholes or police.

I live in the big city and absolutely rely on navigation apps with instant traffic updates to find proper routing to work. The first thing I do when I wake is check the nav app for current traffic conditions to see when I have to leave.

Please post your experience with various nav apps.

It depends on how much voice guidance is provided without looking at the gps/phone. Also, a good feature is a nav, which doesn't require data to operate (good for road trips)
