Waze!

So, I use Waze - for two good reasons: 1) it has motorbike-specific traffic, so will not take you down little back roads when you can filter instead, and 2) I keep my phone in my pocket, and it has really good voice instructions.

Since my work moved its office to central London, the routes in and out vary massively, so I've not managed to learn any of them. I left work today, following instructions and Waze crashed. I didn't know this and carried on for a few minutes getting deep into traffic. Found a place to stop, took my (wet) gloves off, got my phone out and restarted Waze ... only for it to crash again a few minutes later. Total delay about 20 minutes.

So frustrating - I don't want a handlebar mount, I just want something reliable. Is that too much to ask?
