Inrix traffic I found to be the best. Most are using gmaps. Traffic and adding there twist to it. I thought Inrix did it goes further. Yesterday gmaps said the hwy was clear I opened Inrix and it showed hwy closed I found a detour around the closed part.

NewB here.... is there an app that I can use to monitor certain stretches of the interstate? For example, I live north of Boston and would like to monitor a 15mile segment of I93. Is there an app that can provide me real-time updates (text or otherwise) of the current state of traffic flow?

 

[kinster02]

Traffic buddy is the only app that I know of that has real time traffic views using live traffic cams... the others uses the maps and colored line system.

Traffic Buddy can't access traffic cameras in VA.

I don't know about anybody else but up until about 3 days ago Inrix just stopped feeding me traffic updates. All it shows is the incident flags and doesn't show me any of the yellow, orange or red traffic congestion updates. I tried uninstalling and re installing it, thinking that the Froyo update might have had something to do with it, but it still doesn't work.
I have been using Inrix since the beginning of this year and it has worked fine up until now.

I know google maps has the traffic view, but (maybe I am stupid here), I can't get it to show me the traffic overlay while I am actually navigating. Is there a trick to that?

Delete the app then reinstall. That worked for me. And this is better then Google maps and traffic overlay. I would like the pro version

Did click menu then layers and check mark traffic?

yeah, I tried that already and it is still the same. I was contemplating on getting the pro version but I am still curious as to why its behaving like this.

update:

I awoke this morning to see that I had another update on my phone. Not sure which one it was..musta been a minor Froyo update.

Anyways, I just checked my Inrix and it is working again!

The app I use is called "Traffic Cams". I think it's great, it's simple to use, utilizes Google Maps and displays traffic webcams in your area. They update quickly too.

I use waze, has traffic, construction, accidents, stop light cameras, speed traps, etc...
