Introduction

TrafficWatch is a programs that can be used to help drivers with
traffic related information. This program is designed to be used with
QuickLaunch which ties this and other programs to the WayPoint
navigation software.

TrafficWatch is built in to all WayPoint units.

TrafficWatch is supported by a live database that collects
information and sends the data to the Pocket PC via the internet. It
can make use of a live mobile connection or it can collect data via
ActiveSync and then display the data when the connection is lost.
For example, a user could collect traffic data prior to leaving the
home or office and then reference the data for decisions while
traveling.

This program uses your GPS position as reported by WayPoint to
determine the area of coverage for the screen. In the absence of
current GPS data this program will use the last known position.

Subscription

TrafficWatch, along with Weather Underground, requires a
subscription and monthly fee to access the live data. One
subscription provides access to both programs. The WayPoint 200
includes a one year free subscription. WayPoint 100 users can add
this service for a small monthly fee.
