Mobile Traffic Advisory Service to Help iPhone and iPod Touch Users Map Most
Efficient Route to Work or Home
NEW YORK, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- iPhone owners frustrated by getting
stuck in traffic jams now have a new and free way to speed their journey.
Mobileyes, now available for download from the travel section of the
iTunes App Store, is a live, video application that literally shows where
traffic is moving around town -- and where it's not.
The 3rd Dimension service allows commuters in major U.S. metropolitan
areas to access live video and still images of roadways from their iPhone and
iPod Touch devices. Tens of thousands of drivers across the country have
already downloaded Mobileyes onto other mobile devices. Now iPhone users can
access thousands of traffic cameras operated by the local departments of
transportation in an expanding network of cities including Detroit, Hartford,
Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Knoxville, Los Angeles, New York and
Washington, D.C.
"We've been working to support the iPhone ever since Apple released its
tool kit to developers," said Eric Joseph, president and chief operating
officer, 3rd Dimension. "We hope to help the millions of fervent iPhone
users, including myself, to plan the safest, fastest and most fuel efficient
routes around town.
"The media partners and advertisers on our growing network are equally
elated about the addition of iPhone support to our Mobileyes platform," said
Mr. Joseph.
When downloading the app, consumers should check the full range of cities
and pick the one they live in or commute in most. The application also
includes "travel" mode -- located in "settings" -- where drivers can switch to
other regions on the network that they will be visiting. Commuters without an
Apple device may also download Mobileyes by visiting www.freetrafficcams.com
and requesting the service by entering their mobile phone number.
Once the application is downloaded, drivers can choose to view real-time
traffic images from any of the cameras along their route and can even program
keys on their phone to quickly access their favorites. iPhone users can
select between low, medium and high resolution images which will speed or slow
camera load time on their devices.
