Cool new (for me) Google Maps feature: Traffic conditions on Surface Streets
#4
We had this on my wife's iPhone this past Sunday driving back from the holiday. It appeared to be pretty accurate on the interstate portion. I couldn't get my wife to let me navigate her around it, so I didn't get a chance to try the surface streets for comparison.

Having traffic info on a mobile device will be great, assuming they can work out bugs like the ones referred to.

I wonder where they get the data? I know there are trucks with satellite transponders that are in one system. Is there cellphone data too? (Tracking of moving cellphones on streets.)


Good luck.
