Needless to say, traffic is probably your worst enemy. (Second-worst: gas prices.) If only you had some magic tool that could monitor and even predict the traffic along your route.

The , and, now, is that magic tool. It provides real-time traffic data for your area, complete with accidents, construction, and other delay-causing events.

Even better, it can forecast the length of the delay, which is fantastic for those times when you're trying to decide if you should hop off at the next exit or just wait it out.

The latest version, 3.6 (for Android and iOS only; the BlackBerry version is currently a 3.0 release), includes a feature called Comparative Traffic, which shows you the differences between the current and normal traffic conditions.

On the map, roads moving more slowly than usual are marked with a thick black line, while those moving faster have a light-blue one. The idea here is to help you quickly spot and avoid problem areas.
