LIVE TRAFFIC UPDATES ON GOOGLE MAPS!

Monday, June 04, 2012



Ok, maybe old news but hell, when I first heard that you can check road traffic conditions in Malaysia.. I was so excited! Immediately went on Google Maps to test it out! Chose the most familiar route I know that would always be hella jam!


Announced about 2 weeks ago, Google Malaysia launched this new feature and weeeee! we can now see traffic updates in major parts of the Klang Valley in real time. I would think it's definitely a great feature especially for a human like me who has to use a cab most of the time.. well sometimes... LOL! Well, even when I drive... I'd wanna stay clear away from any jams!

Ever since I moved to KL, Google Maps has been a dear friend to me whenever I am to venture out to some place I've never been. I used to memorize every turn. *For days, I get to borrow a car to drive around this crazy city! =P

It's been 2 years and I'm pretty ok with PJ and KL city. So, I've been visiting Google Maps less frequently than I used to. But now! Google Maps has given me a reason to go back to the site more often! Or even on my phone!

Hover over to the side bar on the right.
Click on 'Traffic'


You get the traffic condition on the route you're taking.
Indicators
BLACK RED DOT - crazy stuck jam
RED – slowww
YELLOW– moving jam
GREEN – no traffic jam whatsoever.. speed right through

I've tried it and yea.. I sorta know which roads always jammed up.
So, I guess you can say that it is quite accurate. =)
Occasionally, I still go back to Twitter to check on traffic updates.
You can never be too certain. =P



GOOGLE MAPS WITH TRAFFIC UPDATES FTW!
