stevieg any news on your traffic system?
I can get the traffic data for the UK from a variety of sources the primary two the BBC and MultiMap.
Basically anyone else who needs traffic data for their country still needs to find a decent data source (minimum anything in a computer generated format, even HTML that has a description of the road condition, direction and long/lat)
I'm not pestering SilentAdmirer at the moment about integration, I'm waiting for the new release first :cool: though from what I've looked at in the MapPoint model traffic avoidance needs to be done by plotting to an intersection rather than just plotting a pushpin at the traffic incident and getting mappoint to avoid it. Also, for dynamically re-routing around incidents (which typically are on the motorway) re-routing may need to be done ON the motorway, which is still a problem on the motorway due to 'bugs' in MapPoint. This could perhaps be solved by keeping track of which direction the car is travelling; and reverse geocoding the position, and then calculating the route from the last junction passed, though this would add more load on the already slow MapPoint control!
OMG. I love you. You think you will be able to get the asian languages? Where should I send donations?Quote:
