I wanted my navigation to do this:
By using the basic navigation (my explorer has voice activated everything) I would say an address like Farmers Market in Los Angeles....I wouldnt say Farmers Market, I would find out the address and say it although maybe it would work both ways, but, after I do that and the route starts, and lets say I am coming from Malibu, i would want it to tell me how long it will take
including current traffic conditions
such as lets say it is 4pm on a monday, and it is 45 miles, well if no traffic it should say 45 miles 55 mins for example, but at 4pm on a monday it should say 45 miles 120 mins, instead, due to current traffic, right?
but i used my navi in San Fran the other day and it didnt appear to take current traffic conditions into account, so I then used the phone to use the traffic/directions/info deal and it only allowed me to tell it the name of a city not an address
etc...so not sure what is what, I thought these new gps navigation systems had real time traffic calculated right into the routes when you started a route?
maybe it does and i didnt realize it, i do remember it telling me about accidents on route and did i want to avoid them, so it must but it just didnt seem to when i was driving from A to B and it took longer to get there than it said it would, etc.
