I use google maps on my Galaxy. Yesterday afternoon, it reported a 2 hour slowdown southbound due to a crash on I95 in Florence SC. Gave me the option to re-route. Went around the crash and kept going. When I re-entered I95 south there was NO traffic headed south.

I am not sure that Iphone has a GPS chip in it. If you are using cell-tower location, you can be a quarter-mile off from where it says you are. With my Galaxy, it knows what lane of traffic I am in.....
