> I hope Google Maps can do this. I get frustrated that it keep giving shortest distance with lots of turns.

Google Maps has been doing this for a longest time. They take freeways and signals into account, on top of the real-time traffic. Google Maps will often show multiple route options, some shortest distance, some fastest time, and nowadays "greenest" option (based on the car you picked). If you're not happy with Google Maps' initial pick of the route, you can also try alternate routes once in the navigation.




Have you tried running Google Maps & Waze side by side in crowded area with lots of turns?
