Smartphone app for traffic news

An Irish company has produced a smartphone-enabled navigation product which offers real-time traffic data.

The Twaffic Navigator by iTraffic receives traffic flow updates from all primary and secondary routes in the country, across all 26 counties, every 5 minutes and provides advanced warning of potential bottlenecks such as, accidents, road-works or even road closures throughout the journey.

Each user has a web subscription account to preplan their journey destination which is immediately synchronized from their web account to their phone. Text instructions or instructions in 2D or 3D route views on your phone display are given, or, to allow full concentration on the road, voice instructions on what to do and where to turn improves safety.

For business users who travel frequently, Twaffic Navigator will keep track of your journeys and tot up mileage making expense calculation easier.
