Once Google Maps directed me through the scenic route to work. Turns out there was a massive crash on the highway.
Not only would I have been late I would also have to survive traffic hell.
It also tells you where speed traps are ahead of time. I've always wondered how the cops feel about Google snitching on them like that.
