Northern Virginia Traffic Cams for SmartPhones/PDAs
Posted by: Guest ()
Date: February 09, 2006 03:08PM

My current commute includes a daily dose of I-66. I have some alternate routes but often wind up past the point of no return before I realize just how bad the congestion is. I recently created a tool for checking the traffic cameras from my mobile phone so I don't pass my last opportunity to get off. Hopefully it can save you some time and frusteration during your commute on as well. The url is http://www.getmon.com

Wow what a terrific resource! Thank you very much for contributing something like this to the community. I will add this to the "Links" section above.

Actually a little small for my BlackBerry, but would be perfect for the average WAP cell phone.

If you're paying anything to host that site I can host it for free. Shell account included. Contact me if you're interested.

I appreciate your input and kind words. Please do add this site to your links section.

I did update the site last night so that the image is larger for BlackBerry devices. Try it again and let me know how it looks.

I appreciate the offer for hosting but I am paid up through July I belive, so that won't be necessary for now. Thanks again and I am looking forward to more feedback from you and others.

Hey, that's pretty cool! It even works on my cheapie non-PDA Samsung flip from Sprint. Let us know when you add new features.
