Regularly. There are three potential routes I can take to work and which one is best depends highly on the traffic that hour.

I usually only need to glance at the map for the first turn to see which route it picked for me and after that I really only glance at the arrival time.

I used to live in Maryland and work in Northern Virginia. It was a 42 mile drive, but a fast commute was 90 minutes, but could be over 3 hours. I wish I had gps back then to give me traffic info and route navigation.
