You must not have been using Sprint Navigation during the afternoon of Tuesday 5/13/08, then. Just when I NEEDED traffic optimized routing to get to the airport, the Sprint Nav service had crashed back at the TeleNav servers (confirmed by Sprint CS). I went back to Google Maps to get traffic patterns and then routed around the traffic jam using iGuidance 4.
Unfortunately, by the time I figured out the Sprint Nav was fubar, I had missed best case rerouting options and almost missed my flight. In addition, at my destination, there were areas without cellular coverage where Sprint Nav could not assist. Without a disconnected solution like iGuidance, I would have missed my flight and missed my later dinner meeting. By the way, TomTom's TeleAtlas were crap at my destination.
Moral of the story is, if you really need _reliable_ routing in North America, a disconnected solution with NavTeq maps and TTS road names is a must have. iGuidance 4 fits the bill perfectly.
