Last week I was working a booth at the Hershey RV show. My CG was about 30 minutes away from the show. My return to the CG was usually at ~6-7pm during the evening traffic peak. I used Google maps to guide me every day. I don't think it used the same route home more than twice since it used real-time traffic information to provide the fastest route. If it doesn't bother you to be stuck in traffic, that's fine. I'm not in a hurry, but I enjoy not sitting in traffic jams. No atlas can do that for you. JMO
