And yeah it's a lifesaver depending on the commute in your area. For me my regular routes have bottlenecks that can make a 15 minute drive turn into 45 minutes if there is an accident or weather issues, and there are several alternate routes available to circumvent this. I don't have time in the morning to think about setting a destination for somewhere I go every day so it's cool that it just knows automatically.

I'm sure that Google Maps and Waze has the same functionality, but since all my history is there in Apple Maps along with the integration with my Watch, iPhone, and CarPlay, it's a no brainer to just keep using Apple Maps.
