HTC Incredible :: How Disgustingly Accurate Google Map Traffic Layer Is?
May 18, 2010
Has anyone else noticed how disgustingly accurate/sweet the Google Maps Traffic Layer is?I put it on my dash and when it's green, the highway is at least 50 mph +..I noticed that the second my gps triangle entered the orange/yellow, it slowed down to about 25 mph..Immediately after leaving the yellow, it went back up to 50+..Everyday before I leave work, with a swype and a click, I know whether or not I should be getting on the highway or not. Right now it's red - I'll be taking the lake home today.Holy crud muffin I love this thing.

Google Map's traffic layer is working for my area on my G1. Really, really convenient to see how fast traffic is moving at a glance from my phone!

Anyone having problems with accurate temps shown on the home screen. Mine were right on but today they are off 4-5 degrees if I use Accuweather or switch to Google Weather. Have refreshed and rebooted to no avail.

Ok so I know many are having battery issues. You, like me, probably have more battery life than you think. This is because the application layer of the phone is not receiving the hardware layer's data correctly (hold talk button, end call button, and middle button upon starting up your turned-off phone, this boots in test mode which shows you hardware layer battery power, aka the correct battery life estimate). It's causing another problem because some applications can't be run when the phone THINKS it's about to die.

I have a GIS layer, that holds information about some areas. It is basically a rating for a specic area. So each shape defines a specific rating. I would like to be able to add this layer to Google Maps and then in my Google Android phone be able to open a little application that just shows that rating based on your current location as a big number on the screen. I am fairly new to Android development, so I don't know the Google Maps API that well yet. I would be very happy for any pointers in the right direction and even happier if anyone could present an example.

I dont know wether this is the right place to post this, but I had a great idea for a implementation of Contacts within google maps. Maybe it is already possible or someone already is developing this, but here it is: Add a selectable Layer to the Google Maps on the Android system that integrates with the Contacts list and shows them in Google Maps. Only contacts with an adress can be shown in Maps and have to be in a certain format ofcourse. Also, you have entered a contact's adress information, from the Contact's menu with 'Call' and 'Text you should be able to use 'Navigate to', which is a Google Maps route from your current location to this person's house.

I opened google maps and my location is not accurate at all. I understand that if I turn on gps options it becomes much more accurate, but it's a real battery eater. coming from a 2 year old samsung mysto on Helio network that ran google maps down to the meter for me (and only needed to be recharged every 4 days) it seems like this should work better.Am I missing something? That little mysto couldn't have been running active GPS pinging the whole time. What made it so much better at locating?

Google maps shows my current position of several streets away. I know it says accurate to 400 meters so I'll live with it, but when it states my address as being a village several miles away it annoys the hell out of me, particularly as I live in a medium sized town.

When using Google Maps, sometimes I can get Traffic info & sometimes I cannot get Traffic info. When its working, in Google Maps, I do: Menu; Map mode; Traffic. I can then see the Traffic info on the map. If I then do Menu; Map mode again, I can see the green check mark next to Traffic. When its not working, when I go back to Map Mode the 2nd time, the green check mark is still on Map. It is not on Traffic.

How come the i/phone has Google maps that show traffic (red/orange/green) But on the Droid 4, the standard google maps app does not have this traffic (sigalert) capability? Is it restricted to iphones only? I believe it is the same Google Maps app.

I use the Google Play Music App 4.4.811H.526848 and it works great. But now I tested the traffic the app uses when streaming music, because I wondered that I have higher traffic than expected. I have caching activated. When I put only one song in playlist and stream it, the app uses 14-40 mb traffic for a song with about 2-7 mb!

New Incredible user just looking for some feedback, my battery stats are the following:
Uptime: 12:06
Awake time: 2:58
Battery use:
-Android system: 34%
-Cell standby 29%
-Phone Idle 22%
-Display 8%
-Voice calls 4%
-Maps 3%
I've been reading all other posts and their android system is significantly lower is there something draining my battery?

Even having this thing sync regularly its not accurate. Where is this weather coming from? I changed to weather bug and weather channel, both free apps are way better accuracy wise.

My girlfriend recently bought the Incredible.She says the voice dialer app isn't very accurate, is there a way to train it? I had her go into the voice recognizer settings but the option to train it is not there as it was on the D2.She also says it doesn't prompt her for confirmation and she can't find the setting to have it confirm before dialing. Is there an option she's missing?

Does the Google Navigation program take traffic conditions into consideration when calculating the route?In other words, if I can get to my destination in 20 mins via Hwy A and 25 mins via Hwy B, but Hwy has an accident, will it route me to Hwy B instead?If so, how accurate/real time are the traffic conditions?I have Garmin on Windows Mobile now and find that it's saved me a few times by giving me a route that it wouldn't otherwise give me if the primary route wasn't backed up.

I have a Motorola Droid 2. Is there is way in Google Maps to quickly toggle traffic on and off? And a quick way to clear the map?
On my old Palm I could just hit # to toggle traffic on and off. But on the Droid I have to hit Menu, then layers, then traffic. The same to clear the map. Even opening the keyboard on the Droid2 and hitting alt # does not work.

If someone texts you late at night and your phone is off, when you turn your phone on the next morning you get the text and the date and time shows the time you boot up your phone. You would think it would have the actual date and time the peson sent the message. Am I missing something?

What can I do with the "shadow layer" of the the google maps overlays? I tried, naively, to draw something (an arc) only when (shadow == true) and got nothing? I'm interested in drawing arcs and arc shadows on a map. is there a nice google-maps way to do this?

1. Does Google navigator has some settings that I missed to automatically re-route navigation if I missed correct turn or exit?
2. Does GNavigator can do smart traffic avoidance? I understand that you can put "traffic" layer on the map, but is there a possible setting to make navigator smart and automatically reroute to avoid traffic?

I love the real time traffic on my Inc, my question is this; does the Inc's nav reroute you to avoid traffic? I know some other nav's do and some don't. I'm just wondering if it takes traffic into account and will tell you to avoid a highway or whatever to get you around it quicker.

I am running a MT3G with Cyanogen's mod. I love it...the performance is good, the options are great. It's like having a Linux computer in my pocket (that's actually exactly what it is). The one consistent problem I am having is with the traffic layer in Google Maps. I can enable it and it shows the traffic information just fine. After a few seconds, however, I get a message that says, "low on memory, traffic has been turned off". If I leave GMaps and open another app that I used called TaskPanel, it tells me I have 30+ MB of available memory. I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas? I have Googled the issue and seen a number of other people having the same problem, but I haven't found a fix yet.

I'm totally new to the G1, coming from an iphone, but my gps when on (and can actually get a signal lock), seems to always have me on the grass or in the water if driving my any. Its rarely ever where I am. and im in a major city. Perhaps that could be why, but i always have clear view to the sky.

I've got a standard RelativeLayout laying out my Buttons and TextAreas. What I want to do now is be able to draw various sparks, flying cows etc. at arbitrary places on the screen on top of the whole thing. What's the best way to do this? Should I override onDraw() on the containing View and draw after calling super.onDraw()? Or is there some better way of drawing a layer on top?

I am pretty new to programming with Eclipse and i'm currently developing a game and then I got stuck with a problem. I link the relative layout to the XML game and assign it a ID, and then how do I add it to the activity ? Is there a command to do so it appears in the activity or something?

I am sending text to my app through a QR code via calling barcode scanner with an intent from my app.
Let s say I generate 2 QR codes. #1 passes "Frank" #2 passes "Upfront".
This is no problem, but what happens if someone scans the QR code with the barcode scanner on it's own? They will be presented with the text "Frank". Useless.
Can I have it link to the android market if they do not scan from my app? And if they do, it passes the string?
The only other option that I see is to have it present a message: "Go download my app, Frank" and remove the "Go download my app" from the string if it is passed to my application.
