To make it usable, the app maps a 3-by-3 grid onto the traffic map, corresponding with your cellphone’s keypad. Press 3 and you’ll zoom in on that section; pressing 0 gives you a niftly flyover.

Need that in Auckland. 30 years of infrastructure neglect plus a poor public transport system means GRIDLOCK everywhere. Access the forum with a mobile phone via esato.mobi New Topic Reply
