Of course they are only as good as the data provider they use. People using Google Maps often get lost coming to my home and the traffic data is based on mobiles and not vehicles which means they can not provide the same granularity as systems using sophisticated tracking systems getting data from fleet managed vehicles. Might be ok in some big cities where population density gives the algorithms better quantitative and qualitative data, but mobile phones aren’t enough, specially in NZ. I have to say though that my TomTom with great quality data in all aspects tends to be highly accurate.

As a working mom/professional constantly juggling multiple schedules and meetings, I am ADDICTED to a new smart calendar tool called LEAVE NOW which now available on iTunes App Store. Both its calendar snapshot feature and location service beats the other products on the market. You need to download it now!

Surprised to see Leave Now (leavenowapp.com) off this list. It was built exactly for this purpose.

In essence, Find Friends in iOS does this, too.
