- Current traffic speeds and travel times on major interstates in Atlanta and statewide.

- Current incident and construction information in Atlanta and statewide.

- A real-time interactive traffic map that uses your geo-location and lets you show/hide layers for message signs, cameras, incidents, and construction.

- Over 800 real-time traffic camera images in metro Atlanta.

- Over 100 real-time message signs in Atlanta and statewide.

- News and major traffic and travel alerts.

Good for knowing what the traffic is before leaving the office. It'd be better if it would save my last map so I don't have to keep scrolling and zooming just to see my route home.

Great App I used to work 45 miles from home. This app was very helpful and still is.

Not easily maneuverable

Latest version has quirks It no longer shows where you are on the map since I have updated the app. Also I have noticed the maps are not reflecting true traffic. It will show the route green when actually it should be red or burgundy due to construction. Lately I check active construction to determine how traffic is in area because the maps are not reflecting it. Please bring back the ability to see where you are on the maps..miss that blue dot

Great Love this easy to use app! I get great, up to date info quickly whether it's preparing for a trip or stuck in a jam. Still running great! 6/12/16

This app is horrible Wth am I supposed to do? This is the most user unfriendly app ever... it does not show you your location; so ,unless you're a map expert like dora or something, you are completly lost!

511 Georgia Mobile Needs work. Slow refresh, jumps around, won't stay where I direct it to, inconsistent with desktop version. Better than nothing, but needs to be more responsive.

Loads too slow

Keith Deininger December 24, 2015

Great to know where the traffic is Very good at showing the current state of traffic in Atlanta.

THOMAS BUECHNER July 16, 2015

What Happened? I have used this app for over a year and it has been great. I loved it. Now all of a sudden my "travel times" page will not load. This was the most important part of this app to me. It has not worked for over a week now.

Darren Pierce July 26, 2015

Travel Times Broken for a Month Now As others have said, the (useful) Travel Times feature has been crashing the app for some time now. Overall super useful app.

Brett Smithwick November 3, 2015

Great idea, poor execution The functions are good but the app is slow and crashed often

Billy Stalcup November 2, 2015

Streaming video Love the live streaming video feature around metro Atlanta!

GE Oakley May 8, 2015

Slow is not the word. It seems the page will never fully load. If trying to check an advanced route before the page is fully loaded you end up frozen , then right back at your default location.

Ricky Muse March 6, 2015

Log-in, not possible This app won't let me log-in. When I attempt to, my log-in info disappears.

This app sucks It will not let you login for alerts it keeps kicking me out

Tim Prather March 1, 2015

Maap is unreadable Could be a good app. But, it loads info too slowly, AND the map is totally unreadable. I can't read a single town name or highway number. Please let the map run at Google Maps default text sizes! On the positive, it is easy to understand the app choices. Make the map readable and then I'll upgrade the score.

Chris Vizzini February 20, 2015

Too slow Maps load way to show

Sean McColgan March 2, 2015

Works OK could be faster!!!!!!

Justin Thomas January 28, 2015

Google maps does everything better Since recent updates i have noticed two major changes for the worse. Advertising is now included and the app doesn't default is location to GA. I have had the app open and be centered on Raleigh, Birmingham, and Meridian. Why does a GA traffic app open up showing other states?

Travis Cone January 5, 2015

Not good on mobile. It might be a good way of keeping up with Georgia traffic. I won't know until I can get to a computer because the pages won't load right on my phone. It cuts off over half of the windows you have to open to set up alerts. Did you really not look at it on mobile before putting it on the Playstore? Come on, guys. This is why everyone looks down on Georgia. I'm gonna keep it for now, hoping you'll get it fixed soon.

Mike H November 16, 2014

Good Info I don't travel too often in Georgia, but do sometimes travel around Atlanta. This app is informative and usually timely. Slow to load the maps, but there is a lot of information there. It helps plan a route or a detour. Thanks to GDOT for this.

Brandon Linn January 10, 2015

Cannot trust the maps Says the traffic updates every 2min but I have driven into a mile long stoppage multiple times where the whole wait the map had green lanes.

Dan Howard December 15, 2014

Every time I zoom in, the map recenters itself and I have to find where I was looking. It also crashes a lot.

John LaFleur January 6, 2015

Keeps crashing. Good layout, however, kept crashing.

Droid Maxx A must have for truckers

Rob F September 25, 2014

Were is the message sign for 138 75SB? App is pretty good when it is working correctly but we're is 75SB at Highway 138? It goes missing in action for months.. What gives???

steve biffle August 28, 2014

Crashes Crashes every time. Useless.

Chris Dow May 6, 2014

Improving! So happy about the alerts. It doesn't fc quite so often, and the features are nice. It's still pretty ugly, but it functions better.

Channing Steele May 13, 2014

Crashes constantly Don't bother. Just use your browser to go to the website.

Frederick Haab February 11, 2014

Not great... faster than web when on mobile device, though. It's similar to the website, and you can get a decent overview of traffic on the map... I cannot connect to cameras, though, although I know people with the iPhone version that have no problem with that. Could be a lot better, but I look at it as our tax dollars at (not) work.

David Homan May 6, 2013

Quicker than Web Site Agree w/ v wilborn. Found this when using website on Xoom during morning Vanpool ride, saw ad for the app. Still trying to figure out "Travel Times". Don't really need it because I can figure it out fast/close enough myself, but what I can't do is make it work, app nor website...never adds all my segments together. I'll watch for other people having trouble, but maybe just me.

James Ayton May 27, 2013

Waste of time App fails when it comes to determining traffic backups. Google Maps beats the government's attempt hands down. Don't waste your time or the space on your phone for this. The only thing it provides that others don't are the marque signs and cameras, and those will not help you around a traffic jam.

Julian Dozier July 23, 2013

Useful, decent interface, better than the webpage I found the webpage useful but on a 4.3" smartphone display it was hard to navigate and the page was sluggish. This app is better, especially on a tablet. There are some quirks, and the default layers are too voluminous, but overall it is a step up from the webpage and quite useful in tablet format. Play around with the settings a bit and you'll get it the way you want it.

Stacey Roach August 3, 2013

Problems weigh it down Crashes a lot and the cameras are not live many times. Green/red traffic trends are often inaccurate. So you can't rely on it for traffic decisions affected by accidents.

Scot D February 19, 2014

Horrible performance They should get whoever created the State of Tennessee's TDOT SmartWay. Now there's a traffic app! I was on WiFi and it took over a minute to fully load the map. Removing all the layers (thus reducing usefulness) sped it up but still slower than standard Google Maps with Traffic layer. I can't imagine this thing being useful on 4G, much less 3G.

Michael Van Gilst February 5, 2014

A good metaphor for metro Atl This app, much like Atlanta itself, is horribly designed, cumbersome to maneuver and shuts down at times for no apparent reason. I'm led to believe the city planners and administrators themselves created this app.

Chester Hood August 16, 2013

Useless "Live" posts of incidents sometime are 4-6 days old; completely unreliable construction info. If I can't trust it, I won't use it.
