"Route Scanner uses live traffic information (e.g. accidents, roadworks and delays) combined with a route planner to calculate which incidents could affect that particular journey. It combines the power of Google Maps with the real-time information provided by BBC Travel and the Highways Agency. Route Scanner doesn't just look for traffic and travel updates on motorways and other major roads but through the road network."

BlueGhost Integrates GeoRSS Maps

The BlueGhost Project nows uses Google Maps Enhancements to provide up to the minute Travel Incidents across the UK.


Live Feed Link
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=
http://bbc.blueghost.co.uk/travel_data/locations.rss

Clicking on the blueghost.co.uk inside the icon info window will link to a new map of just that selected area.



Markers Represent there is a Incident and the Lines Represent the Road is Closed.

This works very well with live data and shows the full potential of GeoRSS feeds - providing users with up-to-date information.

Well Done to Michael Pritchard (Blueghost creator) for creating this and other very useful data feeds that are displayed in map form.
