ORIGINAL ARTICLE: What's the best app to help you get through the morning and evening commute in Las Vegas? We're putting 3 of the most popular traffic apps to the test against a long-time Las Vegas resident who knows all of the roads and shortcuts.
Tonight at 5 p.m. on 13 Action News, you can watch live as the drivers go from the Clark County Government Center to Anthem Hills Park using
- Driver 1 - Local's own road knowledge
- Driver 2 - Waze app
- Driver 3 - Google Maps app
- Driver 4 - Apple Maps app
Driver 1 will use their own knowledge to navigate to the destination. Drivers 2-4 will be using the routes given to them by their apps. All drivers will be driving the speed limit for their route.
Chopper 13 will be keeping track of each of the 4 drivers and we'll be monitoring them on GPS to see who will reach the destination first. You can also watch it on Facebook live on the KTNV Facebook page.
