Publisher's Description
From Andreas Amann:
The SigAlert Traffic Maps widget allows you to get the latest traffic maps for your local freeway traffic. After selecting the region to be displayed on the back of the widget, the front will display up-to-date information for the selected region (the speeds and incident reports will be updated when the Dashboard is first displayed and can be manually refreshed by moving the mouse over any route on the widget or by clicking the reload icon in the top right corner of the widget). Map Controls - The widget can be resized (from the bottom right of the widget's front) and allows panning and zooming of the map so that you can focus on the data you are interested in (settings will be stored for each instance of the widget - you can have multiple widgets showing different maps open at the same time). Use the map controls in the top left corner to pan and zoom the map, click on the "i" just below the zoom controls to flip to the back of the widget to change the currently displayed region. - Pointing the mouse over any route or incident icon will display a popup with additional details - pointing the map over a camera icon will display a live traffic camera picture from that location. The popup will automatically close after a few seconds.

"Keeps getting better"
Version: SigAlert Traffic Maps 2.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This widget just keeps getting better. I've been using an older version of this for quite a while now, this new version adds to the functionality. The new look is easy to understand, it's much easier to focus on a particular area of interest. Nice widget. -
"Very Handy Tool"
Version: SigAlert Traffic Maps 1.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is a truly useful widget that is handy and timely. I don't leave my home without checking it out first. -
"Nice. . ."
Version: SigAlert Traffic Maps 1.2.4
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This really is a wonderful widget. Very useful and should be the model for all other widgets as far as functionality goes.
One request, however. Could you make the rollover delay longer? Sometimes there's an accident with lots of information and the info window doesn't stay open long enough to absorb all the information.
Other than that request, this widget needs nothing. -
"VERY Nice"
Version: SigAlert Traffic Maps 1.2.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I feel like the developer is making this one just for me. If anything, this developer is awesome. Very nice job on the suggestions I have made. If only larger companies responded so well. The speed is much faster than even the website is, Very nice App.<b><b>
Now, on to the fine tuning...<b><b>
Start-up of the widget is kindof on the slow side, sometimes it takes 20 seconds or more on my Cable Internet connection.<b>
The text on the pop ups is a little hard to read sometimes. I wish I could customize it so I could use different font sizes. Also, the popups, is the positioning random or does it depend on where you roll over a dot? It would be nice if I could choose the position of the popup. -
"WOW! MUCH Better"
Version: SigAlert Traffic Maps 1.1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Talk about fast fixes. I am amazed at how fast the author addressed my concerns. On a side note: Am I the only one who is commenting on this widget?
WAY better than 1.0
The only thing I wish would be available is the incident reports. I would love to see them on the side or a pop up that has all the detailed information, I don't want to leave the widget to see all the information.
Keep up the great work! -
"Website is better"
Version: SigAlert Traffic Maps 1.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Nice try but it lacks the rollovers that give you incident and speed data. The website is the best place to get the info. Good try but needs work. Should be faster, and provide the same experience as the website. I guess that's where they want us anyway, so we see the Ads.
