Handpicked Software

The SigAlert Traffic Maps widget allows you to get the latest traffic maps for your local freeway traffic.

• Using the maps from SigAlert.com, the following cities/regions are currently supported:
  • Inland Empire (San Bernardino)
  • Los Angeles (greater LA, West LA, and East LA)
  • Orange County
  • Phoenix
  • Sacramento
  • San Diego
  • San Francisco
  • Ventura
• The widget can be resized and allows panning 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).
• Pointing the mouse over any speed dot 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.
• Double-clicking the map will open the corresponding full map in your browser
• The current speeds and incident reports will be updated every three minutes when the Dashboard is showing.

What’s New:
Version 1.5.1:

• Fix display of routes other than the currently active one (’My Sigalert’ subscribers) - we failed to send the required cookie when fetching the speeds for the custom route.
• Fix incident reports using a slightly different format (observed for Phoenix) - make sure we don’t cut off the first line of information unless it is map coordinate information.
• Add a few more text expansions for incident detail reports.
• Make keyboard shortcuts more reliable with when using WebKit nightly and improve keyboard navigation in the login dialog.
• Slightly simplify the HTML layout for the detail popup by removing workarounds no longer necessary when using the latest WebKit nightly.
