At Macworld: INRIX Traffic Cuts Down on Downtime

INRIX TRAFFIC! was given the Macworld 2010 Best of Show award.  This isn't your normal navigation app.  It's used to predict your travel time on your normal routes based on real-time and historic data. It lets you know when to leave to reach your destination at your desired time. It uses what the developer calls predictive traffic to show you the quickest way to your destination. It tapps into the largest crowd-sourced traffic network in the world. One neat feature is that you can see how long your ride would be at various times of the day.  You can then decide to leave at one time or wait until a time when your ride would be shorter.  That really cuts down on your downtime. If you're looking for a way to make efficient use of your time, this might be the app for you. www.inrixtaffic.com

Video Intro

Good reporting Gary... What tool do you use to make the video intros? Very well done, and would like to be able to incorporate into my own video posts in the future if you can share...

Super video, I can see this

Super video, I can see this being good for commuting (need to look at this for myself) and am wondering how courrier and delivery services are looking at this, or have they?  Shoot some more video, it's fun to watch!
