About this app

Know Before You Go: QuickMap puts real-time California traffic data straight from Caltrans in the palm of your hand — so you can plan smarter, avoid delays, and drive with confidence.

What's on the map:
- Freeway speeds and congestion
- Live traffic cameras and snapshots
- Lane closures and CHP incidents
- Chain controls and snow plows
- Changeable message signs
- Border wait times
- Safety roadside rest areas, Park & Ride lots
- Commercial vehicle information including:
-- Weigh stations and Escape Ramps
-- Terminal/Service Access Ramps
-- Overweight Corridors and California Truck Networks

Auto-refresh will refresh data every 3 minutes unless a different refresh interval is selected in the settings screen. Manual refresh is also available via the refresh button at the bottom right of the map.

Enable Geotargeted Notifications to receive alerts about road closures near you — even when the app is closed. Note: If you choose to enable Geotargeted Notifications, this app will monitor your location in the background and alert you (via a Push Notification) to State Highway System road closures occurring near you. Continued use of background location may decrease battery life.

Ratings and reviews

The new update is terrible. No, we don't just need to use the new version awhile to "learn" it. Its memory is gone. I have to enter my zip code every time I use it and even then I'm still zooming in to the correct area. yes, I chose SF. This is even after a stunning delay in trying to get it to connect. I use T-Mobile and Xfinity. And what's with the circle around accidents? Clutter! Developer, open up in your phone, not your laptop to see why we're complaining 😒

The latest update ruined this app. it used to be you could push the location Tab and it would zoom in and show you your location. now it zooms out and you can't see your location because it's zoomed out. The indicator showing cameras and other sign boards, used to be small and very elegant. now they're big clunky balloons, that take up the whole view of the map. The author's change things just for the sake of changing things. they did not improve this app at all. I may start looking for a replac

Recent changes have ruined this app. Once visually appealing and user-friendly, it now resembles an unfinished product. Before, when opened, it showed your exact location. Now it takes 2+ times to get it into position. For over a year there has been major road construction in my area where 2 highways meet. The alert is no longer shown on the map. The graphics and icons are ugly and confusing and the search bar is intrusive. A shame, once a simple to use alternative, I can no longer be trust it.
