Overall I don't use it for directions so much as a for a quick check of conditions before the drive , and 90% for police/obstacles warning... that's useful. For safety, ya know...

I’ve always felt like GPS apps should have an “avoid ghetto” feature for that exact reason. Waze has given me a nice tour of sketchy areas around LAX over the years. Fine during the day, but at night I stay on the interstate and major streets.
