Buddy of ours that works at Apple in San Jose area uses it all the time, and gets re-routed, but has configured it just as you do your cell phone to avoid all annoying notifications. It works a treat around San Francisco we found. Take time to set it up to suit your needs and tolerance you might get to like it.
We got introduced to that, Uber and the Nest by our techy friend on a visit about 14 months ago and love them all now, and we are far from techy need folks = as they say you never miss what you never had but now ..........
