Honestly, what about traffic aware navigation? In cities, that can make your commute take 1hour instead of 2 by knowing where the traffic jams are. And they are not super predictable on my commute.

I really hate how people keep trivializing this point. I use Magic Earth (OSM data + proprietary traffic data) and I woukd have been cooked many a times without it providing traffic. Literal 40-60 minute differences in routes.
