If you're carrying an iPhone, Google Maps just got much more helpful in those moments when you're determined to avoid gridlock. As on Android (http://www.engadget.com/2015/05/21/google-maps-more-detailed-traffic/), Maps' iOS app (https://itunes.apple.com/app/google-maps/id585027354?mt=8) now speaks out traffic warnings in navigation mode. You'll get a verbal summary of conditions before you start moving, and alerts for any congestion or crashes while you're on your way. Is this a simple addition? You bet -- but it could mean a lot if it helps you take a detour.
