It has saved me a couple of times not getting too deep into problem areas here in San Diego as well as up in LA when I was headed to Simi Valley one morning. I tend to set destinations for even normal routes I travel often because of that capability. From your profile, it looks like you're also in SoCal, so all major freeways are covered including the 15 to Vegas except for a shorter stretch this side of Vegas... The roads that are covered around here are similar, if not the same, as the roads you see local TV news showing maps of... If a person lives in more rural areas or does not use freeways that have the road sensors highway patrol, news, etc make use of, there would be no value in subscribing...
