It's saved me considerable time. I don't know much about comparing to the paid apps, but I assume this is real-time right off the same GoogleMaps view you'd get on your desktop. Is this paid service going to deliver anything above and beyond? If not, I'd say, just go with the free one. It shows your car moving in real time on the roads, etc. It's really neat if you haven't tried it. I’ve been using the free Google Maps App and hit “Traffic” when I’m going on major roads.

I live close to work, but any time I want to go across town, I don't know if it's going to take 20 minutes or an hour and 20... A traffic app would be most helpful. @David — Minneapolis here too.

It's really inconsistent - one day it could be extremely slow and the next hardly any. This app is something that could literally save me hours and hours over the course of a year. I just might have to buy an Iphone!
