Have you tried Traffic.com? You may want to and it is FREE

You may have heard that our traffic in Seattle and the surrounding vicinities can be terrible. I was watching CNN this morning and they talked about Traffic.com (a NAVTEQ product). They mentioned how you can map a trip and set up alerts to be told if there are accidents along the way. I went to the website and found out that there are apps for iphone and blackberry.

MyTraffic is a “free suite of personalized services that saves your drives, offers email, phone and text message traffic alerts and displays your drives and alternate routes for speedy comparison. You’ll be able to access your MyTraffic services from your web browser, mobile web browser, RSS feed reader, and our free traffic hotline and SMS text messaging service.” It is available in many cities.

I can see how it would be very helpful while taking you trips to work etc. but I wanted to know how they are on longer trips. So I put in a trip from my home address to Devils Lake North Dakota. You can receive turn-by-turn directions.

(I am sorry I am missing some commas on this post...my computer has just stopped me from putting them in.)
