Default heads up: Google Maps now has traffic!

Not sure if many of you have noticed but Google maps now has a 'traffic' button alongside their 'map', 'satellite', and 'hybrid' buttons. Will help out those like me who have to drive some distance to the trailhead.

Google Maps

google is great, what's even better than their web interface is that there is now a Google Maps java application for your cellphone, a free download from google. It has mapping, searches businesses and dials them, gives directions (nav), AND shows real time traffic. I'm always dodging traffic with this. Best new app I've seen in a long time.

here's a link to the mobile app:

(make sure you have a data plan!)
