I have voice turned off in my phone's navigation, but yesterday, a voice chimed in to say that there was a report of a cop at the place coming up, and it let me tap yes or no that he was still there. I haven't heard a voice in years, even when I've gotten stuck in trafffic on the xway. They have 6 or 8 examples of kinds of road delays. I wonder if cops are a special category, and in general, if anyone has complained about google warning drivers about cops. After all, their preesence should be a suprise. I didn't see a cop.
