Traffic Awareness Tool

Posted: August 2nd, 2005 | No Comments »

Palm has released Traffic, an application the Treo 600/650 that provides, for a monthly fee, live traffic data and maps for 10 U.S. cities. The added value being that cameras and human inputs supplement traffic sensor data. Since the data are “humanized”, I would expect the interface to display a better sense of flows and to become a richer awareness tool. For example showing the map in terms of time instead of distance.

A rather cluttered interface…
