Time estimate reliability

Time estimates for Route 36 are usually off. Time estimates for Route 22 are usually correct

Love it

Evaluated so may other apps and settled on this one.

Couple features I wished it had, but the ones it has work smoothly.

Eg you can’t rearrange favorites you have to reenter them.

Sharper

I really appreciate the app but would appreciate less confusion when using it on the go easy access to the route. I’m on in the timing that I’m seeking to find when in route.
