Is it able to have route based on weekday or weekend or office hour when calculating "Fastest Time"?

interesting feature.. but i doubt it will happen. too many data need to be collected & updated in real time
from Garmin Que for Pocket PC to Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile to Nuvi 205W to Papago M9 for Android & now Garmin Nuvi 2576.

A GPS with live Traffic feature will suite your needs as this will look at actual "live" traffic conditions and route you to avoid it.

Bro chiahs, a map by itself CANNOT tell you the traffic conditions. If you want to have pre-planned routes, certain Garmin models allows you to pre-plan routes. You can pre-plan routes for weekday, weekend, peak hour via mapsource and then transfer them to the Nuvi and use them according to your needs.

Example :

Nuvi 765 includes advanced navigation features so you can plan ahead to take the worry out of traveling. With route planning you can save 10 routes, specify via points and preview simulated turns on the 765's wide screen. In addition, nuvi 765 automatically sorts multiple destinations to provide an efficient route for errands, deliveries or sales calls. It also displays speed limits for highways and Interstates. A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map.

Interesting...
_____
trafficTrends, myTrends

Perhaps the most important new features are called Garmin trafficTrends and Garmin myTrends. Garmin trafficTrends on the Nuvi 3700 series is an implementation of a feature similar to TomTom IQ Routes. Historical traffic data is built into the device so that it recognizes that a major feeder highway might be smooth sailing at 5:00 am, but more closely resemble a parking lot by 9:00 am. Assuming they are using Navteq TrafficPatterns data (and we have no reason to believe otherwise) the data isn’t as good as what TomTom IQ Routes has so far, but if these devices end up feeding data back to Navteq via software updates we could see the data improve rapidly.
