Rod Speed brought up a point about having Google Traffic on a quick
push-button link, so that you don't waste time in a hectic situation.

Looking it up, these two articles show how easy it is to add a traffic link
to the desktop:
https://support.google.com/maps/answ...form%3DAndroid
http://lifehacker.com/5426824/create...ds-home-screen

Basically you simply long press on your desktop, and set it up from there.

Here are the simple steps, as I tried them on my phone just now:
1. http://i.cubeupload.com/PhtFyG.png (I long pressed on the desktop)
2. http://i.cubeupload.com/gkr0SO.png (I selected 'shortcuts')
3. http://i.cubeupload.com/JklWuv.png (I selected 'Maps')
4. http://i.cubeupload.com/yk0zXa.png (I entered my destination)
5. http://i.cubeupload.com/qUEtUb.png (Pressing 'save' created a link)
6. http://i.cubeupload.com/STiVuF.png (That link opens up Google Maps)

Of course, it won't work for me (since I don't have any google accounts),
but it should work for most of you (who do have google accounts).
