It rerouted me around a nasty highway traffic jam and, smartly, took me on the parallel road next to the highway. I know this was a reroute because I often take that same route and it always routes me on the highway.
I was definitely rerouted around traffic the other day. Unfortunately, I ignored the directions thinking the iPhone was sending me the long way for some reason. I ended up in a massive traffic jam due to an accident.
Let's be sure we're using the terminology correctly here. Were you simply routed around the traffic before you ever started out? Or we were you actually RE-routed a different way in the middle of traveling an original route? I think what people are saying in this thread is that they have not yet experienced Maps changing a route in mid-stream due to changing traffic conditions. I have certainly been initially routed around known traffic, but so far I have never seen iOS 6 Maps change my route due to traffic after I've already started driving, which is definitely a feature they promoted at WWDC. On a couple of occasions, I've found myself stuck in traffic and have turned onto a side road. At that point, Maps will calculate a new route and seemingly take the new traffic info into consideration. But it has never taken the initiative and re-routed me automatically in mid-stream the way Apple claims it should.
In other words, has anyone ever seen the popup in the rightmost screenshot below, while driving?
