TrafficViews allows you to save, then quickly recall live "views" (define a view as zoom and gps position) on a Google traffic map simply and easily. This app was born out of necessity for personal use.
As an avid user of Google Maps traffic interface to check my traffic situation when leaving for (or leaving to return home from) work, I realized that I wanted something with a bit more functionality, thus, TrafficViews was born. With TrafficViews, I can open the app and load one of my saved "views" directly from the app menu. This allows me to quickly and easily check the most congested points on my route (in real time) without having to zoom and pan through the maps interface.
Options include:
*Save and recall any view at any zoom level quickly and easily.
*Quickly pan back to your location from the menu, so as to follow yourself after checking out one of your views.
*Zoom at any time to your default zoom level (as you have specified in settings).
Settings Include:
*Default Zoom Level: The level at which the map should zoom if no other information (like a zoom from a saved view) is given.
*Map Type: Toggle all of your views between satellite or plain map.
*Show Location Marker: Shows a star at your location.
*Update Interval: How often to update the app along your route if you are being followed.
*Full Screen: Whether or not to have the app take over the notification bar window... useful if you want to turn your phone into a full screen navigation unit.
*Animate To View: Animations are disabled by default to save time and data, you may enable them if you want.
*Allow Landscape: This overrides your current orientation settings for this app only allowing you to toggle landscape mode on or off... useful if you want to use the app in a vehicle mount.
*Keep Screen On: If you have your device plugged in to your vehicle, and want to have the screen on constantly while in your vehicle mount, you will want to select this option.
*Keep Screen Bright: This is a modifier for the "Keep Screen On" setting that allows you to force the device screen not to dim during the day, but you may want it to dim at night.

App is getting kinda outdated. My latest upgrade to Samsung S7 killed the settings since the S7 doesn't have the settings button and the app relies on the button.

So far so good! Just to add to another user's request: (It would be nice if it showed construction) How about adding a dot feature. A live view linked in with DOT showing cameras and traffic. (Including the Orange and Red DOT cones which if clicked will describe the cause of slowdown. Just a thought. Heck! I''ll even comeback and change to a 5 *F*I*V*E* STAR Rating if you can figure out how and it works! Thank you for this great app! You're a STAR!

Only one complaint is that the color can change if you zoom in or out and can't tell which is accurate

It could be better if it told me where there would be construction and road work notifications

this app is great but there is one problem. I'm unable to see which route is which because the numbers are hidden behind the highway. it shows it for a quick second but then it disappears. please make route numbers visible and I will rate this a 5

Tried to use the app on our trip to Tennessee and it kept trying to get me to install another app I was not interested in.

No update in years. Unable to access settings. Shows current traffic in local area but that's about it.
