Overview:

How many times have you found yourself in a traffic jam, construction zone or blizzard, and wished you could have seen the road conditions up ahead before you got there? Radio reports and roadside signs are all fine and good, but all too often you're already caught up in a problem before you hear or read about it.Traffic Vizzion makes it possible to see the road ahead by bringing live images from thousands of traffic cameras across North America, the UK, Ireland and New Zealand to your Pocket PC. These traffic cameras are shown on a map and can be easily selected for viewing. And, unlike any other traffic camera software, Traffic Vizzion can be used in conjunction with a built-in, or external GPS. This can be used to automatically show the cameras that are near your current location, or the cameras along the road directly ahead of you long before you get there!But wait- there's more! Traffic Vizzion also allows you to download high quality maps for your local region and explore those maps using pan and zoom features. Again, if you have a GPS, Traffic Vizzion will display your precise location on the map so that if you take a wrong turn or have to detour around traffic, it's easy to get back on track. Don't have a GPS? No problem, you can still manually pan and scroll maps, and you can still view cameras by selecting your local region and then selecting individual cameras for viewing. Traffic Vizzion can save you time, money and frustration by quickly answering questions such as:Which route is least congested? I'm lost! How do I get back on track? Are those radio reports/roadside displays accurate and up-to-date? What roads could I take to get from A to B? What's causing this jam? How far am I from my destination? How bad are the weather conditions on my route? Will taking the toll road / expressway save me time? Is there an accident up ahead? Traffic Vizzion can be used by commuters, business travelers, long-haul drivers, delivery drivers, recreationers, or anyone who needs to view maps or see road conditions ahead of time.Don't have a GPS but want to add one to your device?
