the apps have audio alerts.

but you still need to have navigation open, are people really using navigation to go to work and get home everyday?
If I'm going somewhere out of the norm, I'll mark it on google maps, but I still flash my lights.

I think a lot of people leave the apps on just for the off chance of an alert.

After getting pulled over on 95 for speeding I use Waze all the time now. The cop alerts are helpful but so are the traffic/accident alerts and redirections.

Yep, I do, but I set waze to just alerts (like heavy traffic, police, etc) — I know how to get to work, but I put it on for my commute for the alerts.
