I'll give 2 more thumbs up for Waze!
It's a lifesaver!
From where you are sitting, it will give you THE best route, and an alternate. (To avoid tolls, etc)

That said, it ALL depends WHEN you travel...
Day and time.
You can look on the app for "best time" to travel.
If you don't have one, get a phone holder...one that mounts on the windshield, so you don't have to take your eyes off the road...and a good car charger.

You probably hit the myrtle beach/outer banks summer vacation rental changeover times. (Weekends)
I try to travel Wednesday...at night....

I drive straight through, from upstate NY..20 hrs...and ALWAYS avoid DC/95. It's a ZOO!
I'd rather go 40 miles out of my way than drive there..
It's crazy at 9pm!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if people used/set their CRUISE CONTROL instead of speeding up/slowing down depending on their conversations/mind wanderings......
