Finding an address unknown to us is not always easy, but it is incredibly tricky and annoying when unexpected traffic jams prevent us from reaching our destination. The emergence and spread of online maps are undoubtedly one of the most exceptional help when traveling, but thankfully that’s not all! Thanks to recent developments by the largest map providers (Google Maps, Bing Maps, MapQuest, or Apple Maps), route planning can also be optimized based on real-time traffic congestion. Using the map below, e.g., you can quickly check what traffic conditions you may encounter at your destination or on the go. Plan and overcome unexpected traffic situations.
Tip: Use the Choose view menu in the bottom-right corner of the map to display traffic conditions, roadblocks, traffic incidents, satellite maps, terrain maps, and public transport.
