If you're driving a car, and just want the fast point A to B, Google's WAZE is probably the smartest. it relies on real time feedback from nearby users, as well as traffic monitoring provided by the gov.
The LMT model Garmins provide the same level of CURRENT traffic information/ route changes.
But neither provides historical traffic slowdown avoidance.
I've often wondered why no traffic routing software/ hardware will not route you off the Beltway around D.C. during rush hour.
You have to get within 5-15 miles of the delays/ backups before they start offering alternate routes.
Sometimes the best alternate routing requires a different road 50 or 100 miles before the backups.
