Map Your Way Through Traffic

Google Maps has another feather on its cap that would now make time of travel be accurately estimated using real time traffic data. Depending on where you live, the shortest distance may take the longest time to travel depending on the time of day your journey begins. Traffic data is constantly refreshed where available, offering the latest possible information. Google previously offered traffic data. However, this is the first time data has been available as part of directions. Data will be gathered through third-party services and through information from Android users who have opted in to the My Location feature on Google Maps.
