GPS tend to go for the easiest route, but not necessarily the fastest.

I used a GPS for about a week 15 years ago, it was useless. The paper issued them to replace the map books we had carried for years. I sent it back and kept the maps I. I can glance at it and within a few seconds have the route in my head.
I'll use google maps on my laptop in place of paper today, but once I leave the house it is all in my head.

Being able to pick a route to beat a GPS/Map app is pretty advanced. It requires knowledge of how traffic patterns change during the day.

That's the whole point of Waze. It combines GPS positioning, accurate maps, and crowd-sourced instantaneous traffic updating. It changes your routing as it sees situations develop. The few times I've thought that Waze was leading me astray, I was wrong.
