we use:
1) google maps with traffic. as long as we have cell reception it has very up to date easy to see traffic. And places with no cell reception very seldom have traffic issues.
2) our onstar nav also shows traffic.
3) there is always 511 for road conditions
4) if we see bad traffic like stopped traffic as far as the eye can see, I call onstar, get someone on onstar to give an update and route me around it. 95% of the time they have very up to date info including how long the delay might be and what is causing it. AND so far when I say I'm pulling a 30ft trailer, give me a truck route the can do it. On one time when I-90 was blocked for 30 miles due to an accident, onstar gave an estimate of when the traffic would start moving. Called at that time, they were able to give me traffic speed, road clearing how long to wait before starting again. (We were stopped at a small town truck stop). We left when they recomended, traffic speed was up to 30mph or so for 10 miles or so then quickly picked up to normal speeds.
