harrycatcat1 Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 I was travelling down the M6 on Thursday from Scotland to chesterfield and on the overhead "screens" it was saying 1 hour delay at jn 19 South bound so I pulled off and went an alternative route. When I got home I could find no information about the alleged issue. Are they correct the overhead screens 🤔 And is there an app that tells you the queue warnings type thingy bob. My car sat nav didn't show any warnings 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 I find that sometimes the overhead information is correct and other times it is out of date and the delay has cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manthing Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Google maps uses live info from all devices in an area with location sharing switched on. Find it very accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udderlyoffroad Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Indeed, Google maps for me. Waze has some very strange ideas about what constitutes the fastest route, even its native North America. Anyone still using an old-school sat-nav that doesn’t get traffic info/auto updates is missing out. Queue an avalanche of posts from people using road atlases and their ‘common sence’.

Lord O War Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 I don't use the phone because nav really sucks the life out of the battery and someone always phones you up just as you come to the junction you don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
