Free Traffic App for the BlackBerry Storm

Filed Under: 9500 StormSoftware/Apps

trafficThe creators of the popular Where application have released another free app called Traffic.  As you can tell this new app focuses on bringing you real-time traffic information while on the go.  It is custom made for the BlackBerry Storm 9500 and 9530 models.  With the Traffic app you can do many things that will make your trips easier to handle.

First and foremost it will give you detailed information about construction, accidents and even weather related events.   The app is best for planning ahead so you can see where the congestion is and the best way around it.  Real-time traffic is color-coded and can function with the internal GPS to follow you on your route.  There is also the ability to sync with www.traffic.com so you can create customized trips and save them in their database.  One thing you must not do is use this app while driving.  My advice is to use it before a trip or while you are stopped.

Other features include:

•    Unique JamFactor™ calculations to quickly inform you of the severity of traffic delays.
•    View top traffic hotspots in your city or browse through the list of all nearby roads and road segments to drill down to the locations that matter the most.
•    Save your favorite roads and road segments for quick access through the traffic dashboard.
•    Mass transit data from local transportation departments.
•    Location-enabled discount offers from relevant and trusted merchants.

  • Customizing trips, or pulling information about a future trips is one approach.

    Why not use Prompt, the GPS Calendar, which acts as a traffic early warning system? Your fastest route, and travel time, to your next appointment is automatically calculated and message is pushed that tells you when to "hit the road". It cover 160,000 miles of roads in N. America, and predicts travel time adjusted for weather, sports events, and seasonal fluctuations.

    It's the only app that tells you it's time to leave (patent pending) and Prompt is also the #1 paid traffic app, specifically designed for road warriors.
