One of the most helpful features added to the iPhone with the 1.1.3 firmware update was the ability to learn about local traffic conditions through the Map widget so you can avoid traffic jams and take the fastest routes.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 1 minute
Here's How:
- Turning on the traffic conditions feature is simple. Go to the Map widget and tap the eye icon at the bottom right.
- The page will “peel” away to reveal another set of options. One of them is “Show Traffic.” Tap that and when you view maps or directions in the Map or Hybrid views, you’ll always see traffic conditions overlaid on the map.
- Green lines mean smooth driving, yellow some slowness, and red congestion.
