In big cities, traffic conditions determine how much time you get to spend with your loved ones against how much time you spend on the road. And having the latest information at your fingertips means that you can optimize your time to your liking.

Given how much time we spend on commuting from one place to another as part of our daily lives, Nokia Maps has rolled out some new Traffic features in Beta. Now with the latest beta of Nokia Maps Mobile client, we have Live Traffic routing. Available in UK, France, Germany and Russia; it makes the life of those of us who drive that much more easier. Now, you can turn on “Avoid traffic” in the “Route settings” to take traffic conditions into account while you drive.

But what if you are at home, and want to have a quick peek at the traffic conditions before you start your journey? And what about the times when you wait at home for a loved one driving through the city traffic? No need to worry, now, maps.nokia.com brings to you the latest Live Traffic information to keep you in the know – before you go.

By clicking on the traffic icon on Maps.Nokia.com, you can now watch the live traffic flow in Germany, France and United Kingdom. The traffic information is refreshed every five minutes to provide you with the latest  traffic data. It also covers all the highways and main roads in the three countries – which means all the important road networks are covered.

Try out the Live Traffic Flow on maps.nokia.com and let us know your thoughts.  We will be bringing Live Traffic Flow to more countries in the future; hence your feedback is greatly appreciated.
