Today Google released an update for the Navigation app in Google Maps. The changes implement a completely new method for rerouting no longer based on simply distance or preferences. Now when your phone’s GPS reevaluates your route it will consider traffic in its calculations. This is not to say that the fastest route as well as alternates will not also be considered, the new system will simply do these things based on perimeters having to do with current and historical traffic conditions for the route you specify. You know what this means? You can get to work faster!!! Yay!
