Google Maps Directions Adds Real-Time Traffic Estimates

Posted by timothy on from the gps-keeps-saving-my-life dept.

First time accepted submitter constpointertoconst writes "If you use Google Maps to calculate directions, you may now notice (if your route is covered by their traffic data) an 'in current traffic' travel estimate for current route. Some may recall that Google Maps had a similar estimate in the past, but it was removed last year due to poor accuracy."

    Since the teatards are actually using the Agenda 21 as a source of paranoia with regard to the dreaded UN takeover, I think black helicopters are not that far out of the picture. I do concede, however, that I am not up to speed with regard to any idiocy out there, so my metaphor might be out of place indeed.
