Hardware-Based Commute-Map Gadget

Posted by timothy on from the just-the-tip-of-the-underbelly dept.

coreymetrics writes "Anyone have one of these things? While it's no substitute for an improved mass-transit solution in the Puget Sound area, TrafficGauge's new gadget sure looks like it beats any PDA or cell phone auto traffic map I've used. It uses the same data that powers the Washington State DOT's indispensable website. Now why can't auto makers put this kind of thing in a dash instead of mostly worthless GPS navigation and DVD units?"

    Well this has a fixed display of the area around Seattle. If you happen to live elsewhere, then a GPS is what you should look into for any sort of interactive navigation.
