TrafficGauge

Wednesday, September 15, 2004

Now this is something cool: TrafficGauge™. It’s a PDA-type device that sits on your dashboard and displays up-to-date highway traffic. They have it for Seattle and LA. This is the sort of thing I always expected I’d someday be able to do on my Axim, so I’m actually a bit peeved that I would be forced to buy an additional PDA to get this kind of service … There’s no way I’d buy one of these right now, regardless of how nifty it is, because (a) it wouldn’t be worth the hassle of hiding every time I got out of the car, (b) I already have a much, much more useful PDA, (c) by the time I get a new car, this sort of thing damn well better just be in the dashboard, and (d) I don’t commute as much as I did six months ago. Still, though, it’s a pretty impressive product. They were advertising on ESPN, too.

Yeah, but how useful is that in LA?

Is it ever going to say anything besides “Traffic slow on all highways”?
