I've used it successfully in Chicago on several occasions. That's also specifically where he claimed it would work.
I also did get charged the one previous time I had driven through Chicago, when I was going about 10mph over the speed limit.
I spent one night in Chicago when I had a connection there and the flight got cancelled. I would like to visit sometime. I want to check out Wrigley Field.
Funny story about that connecting flight. When they cancelled the flight the airline was frantically trying to get people situated on other flights. When I spoke with the agent she said there was nothing until the next day and I protested a bit because I was supposed to be back at work the next day and she said I have nothing to Toronto the rest of today that isn't fully booked but I can put you on a flight to Vancouver if you would like. Still to this day I don't know if she was trolling me because I was complaining or if she actually had no idea that Toronto and Vancouver were on opposite ends of Canada.

Ah, the proud American tradition of being completely geographically ignorant.
We got stuck in Chicago, because of a winter storm once. It's part of our deep eternal hatred of Illinois in general and Chicago in particular. They gave us something like $45 worth of meal vouchers, but by the time all the taxes and fees and various other gratuities were tallied up, it barely covered one small hotel pizza.
