However it appears to underestimate traffic delays for DC->OBX beach traffic. On a summer Saturday morning, that’s a 6-7 hour drive. Or worse. Apple Maps has it closer to 5-5:30 for most of the day. Google gives a range from 4:45-6:30 - 4:45 is basically impossible any time of day and year but 6:30 is ballpark-ish if you don’t hit a major traffic jam.
Here We Go is frighteningly accurate for SF bay area traffic predictions. (E.g., within 2 minutes, driving between south bay and north San Francisco, with traffic). It must be using statistical models to predict future traffic.
It is often pre-loaded on European car console units so you may be using it without realizing it. It’s free for iOS and Android, and works offline (offline support is the killer feature for me).
How long have you used Here WeGo? It used to be my primary maps application but a couple years back they updated it and broke everything (offline address search stopped working, no route choices anymore, I think they removed the TTS options which made the voice directions much harder to follow, etc).
The reviews for the app tanked after that disaster and practically all of them mentioned the update as the pain point, do you know if they ever recovered a semblance of what it used to be? Maybe I'll have to check it out again, I've been using Magic Earth ever since then and it's pretty solid but there are a few minor things I still miss.
Well that's also what I used to believe, kinda makes sense. But drawing from my own anecdotal experience I had to conclude that's not the case. Maybe I'm wrong, and it's just VERY bad at it, or it doesn't work where I live.
Well you can set a departure time and it gives "Typically ..." so it must have some information like that. And their Waze gives a graph of journey times by time of departure.

But maybe that’s a worst-case route.
