I learned about the "waze" traffic app this past Christmas when our family road-tripped from Michigan to Florida and back. This app serves as a navigation system, radar detector, traffic re-router and in-car entertainment!
Here's how it works: waze guided tour
Here's a great test of waze vs google maps vs paper map that was aired on Good Morning America: GMA Video
Of course, waze works better when there are more waze users around. It's perfect in cities and on highways.
Waze also needs your phone network to work -- so it's best to have your phone charging so the battery doesn't drain down. There were a few times that poor reception would cause waze to not work -- so I recommend using your car's navigation system and going closer to the speed limit during those times.
But overall, it worked great!
Who doesn't love a product where you are "outsmarting" something?!
