I use it sometimes to find out which path is estimated to be the fastest if I know multiple ways there.

Without GPS I know how to get there but I'd tend to pick a way and stick with it, which might cause me to get there slower due to traffic or a roadblock.

One time when a major cellular carrier went completely offline which rendered many people's phone navigators useless, I found it was busier than normal on the main highway. I suspected it was because people all took the familiar highway route instead of via local streets when navigating home that day.
