I didn't necessarily use my GPS on my cell phone when I'm well aware of the route I will be taking.
My last trip through Knoxville, TN, I learned my lesson. I noticed that about 70% of the traffic exited the interstate, toward Maryville, just south of Knoxville. I didn't think much about it and kept going. The traffic came to a sudden halt and the trip through Knoxville took about 2-1/2 hours. There was a major accident during early rush hour and the traffic that had exited went through Maryville probably saved at least 1-1/2 hour. I now use the Google or Waze mapping, even when I know the route like the back of my hand.
This is an important point. The Garmin I use has traffic and it works very well. However, when I was using my old GPS I never thought about that!
