Google-Yahoo Traffic Maps
So Google has an excellent mapping tool. And Yahoo! has an excellent traffic RSS feed. What an excellent idea it was to merge them into Google-Yahoo! Traffic Maps.
The combined map shows little icons for severe traffic conditions or planned construction, with a pop-up for detail which could include a suggested alternate route. I’ve had a bit of a problem at lunchtime with all the construction they are doing at the intersection of 75 & 635, so hopefully this will help me figure out when it’s safe to use that route.
Why not just use the maps on Yahoo!, you ask? Frankly, I can’t believe you had to ask that. Have you tried Google Maps?!?! Have you?!
