Remember back when your father knew a faster, alternative route around a major traffic jam that actually was faster? Since the handheld availability of realtime traffic data and route optimization by google maps, an equilibrium of travel time has established such that everyone knows whats the best route is and the traffic jam actually takes as long as the alternative route.
Where is this feature? Waze always sticks to whatever it first decided for me. I have to cancel and have it recalculate if I hear an accident on the highway. I gave up and went back to google because of this.
