Yeah, I tend to do this, but rarely (about once in a couple of months) traffic gets so bad on a specific part of my commute (where I literally have no viable alternative routes) that I'd wished I'd kept it on so I could turn around and just WFH.

Waze has saved me a couple of times where I find that out 5-10m through the drive and just turn around so I don't sit through important meeting in the car.

Google/Apple maps just don't update fast enough as they're not crowdsourced.
