Very accurate travel times for Chicago-area highways. Good for warning about construction zones, as well.

Graphics are old and outdated. Spotty coverage of the traffic and road conditions in the Midwest. Waze and Traffic Spotter apps are far more accurate and detailed. Uninstalled app.

Latest version unusable. Hangs on "downloading messages".

This app is slow to load the chicago map and the resolution is poor on my android tablet. The web page loads the map faster with good resolution. The developers of this app should be fired.

The data for milwaukee is generally accurate. The warning every time it opens is very annoying. No other app I have does this. There needs to be a refresh button on the map. The plus/minus buttons are too small and should be separate from the settings. There should be some way to put in your route and get the estimated travel time.

Terrible app in every sense. Maps don't upload, the lawyers make you agree to the t&c's every time you log in.

A. G. u. Feb 26, 2013

I have had no problems and the times are accurate.

Does not show the map completely (only Chicago). Doesnt update. Slow. No obvious way to target a search.

Titled travel Midwest, but it's only Chicago. I'm 3 hours from Chicago.
