Isn't the point to use the GPS to avoid the traffic? In my experience, it's pretty effective a lot of times for that.

You are the traffic.

In my experience, if you are trying to dodge congestion at a peak time, so is everybody else. Excepting in the first 15-20 mins after a major incident, the alternate routes end up congested and settle to an equilbrium time because everyone is trying to do the same thing.
