I use Waze exclusively. I leave Waze on pretty much any time that I'm driving, and enable it when I'm going to work or coming home, but really only to warn me about cops, accidents, traffic. I have Waze set to only speak when there's a hazard: "object in road ahead", "police ahead", etc.... I have missed a warning and reroute about an accident once that REALLY sucked (stuck in place for 4+ hours). If I'm going someplace that I haven't been, I'll use waze and enable traffic once I get close and it starts routing me on surface streets near the destination since it will often send me unusual routes to get around traffic.

So, I have maps going most of the time, but usually only have the speech going to warn me about police.
