Hi guys,

I'd appreciate any advice.

I'm an internal courier so travel to the same places everyday. For this reason:
I don't need navigation from my GPS par se.
I don't want to listen to navigation from my GPS when I know where I'm going.

But if there is a traffic problem I'd like my GPS to automatically reroute & start navigating aloud.

Preferably an app but would consider a standalone unit.

Does anything come close?

I do calls to the same places most of the time and know where I'm going. I tend to leave the satnav telling me where it thinks I want to turn and am quite used to tuning it out when I don't want to listen. I do listen to the camera warnings though.

A problem I can see, even if a system was available, is that I don't always use the roads it suggests so how would it know when I'm going on a certain route on purpose or could do with some help.

Try Waze. If it's a route you travel regularly it learns your route. If, one day, it wants to take you off of your usual route, it implies that there must be trouble ahead.
