Washington state traffic flow download - Treo Forum

denisellen · 04-21-2008, 07:16 PM

I live in Seattle - land o' horrible traffic. Washington State Dept of Transportation website has a link to traffic flow free download software for various PDAs, smartphones, etc. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with such a service in their area. I need some advice before downloading - don't want to cause any problems with my 650 which is working just fine at the moment. Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out.

PDA Traffic - Wireless Traffic Conditions

Since no one gave their opinion about this download, I eagerly went ahead and it's working well. In fact it's really cool. It shows, in real time, the freeway and major highway traffic flow in a PDA friendly format - the same information that shows on the DOT website. If this is available where I live, then maybe it's available other places as well. Worth looking into for those who live in cities with bad traffic, where it's good to know when to avoid the traffic snarls.

I was going to suggest Google Maps. They have a traffic feature. They may even get that from ADOT of various states. But hey, seems you are having good luck with what you have. Thank You for posting that.
