NAVTEQ Traffic


The site can be accessed from any phone or PDA with a mobile web browser. It features accurate, up-to-the-minute traffic information including travel times, vehicle speeds, delay times and accident reports. It also includes NAVTEQ's Jam Factor, a numerical traffic measurement scale that uses colour coding to indicate worsening or improving trends along the user's route.

Drivers across the USA can access city area traffic information or their own personalised updates about current conditions and congestion trends. Users can register at www.traffic.com to name and save their daily commutes or weekend travel routes with a free MyTraffic account.

"As people become more reliant on having access to real-time traffic information, drivers want convenient access when they're on the go," said Alex Wiegand, vice president, NAVTEQ. "NAVTEQ real-time traffic content is highly localised and delivered at the moment a driver needs it."
