After update, app is almost useless now. The where to bar on the bottom is fixed there and cannot be hidden. The ledger is in a separate menu and not easily accessible quickly. And the biggest flaw is they only show major roads now. None of the blacktops and county roads I drive everyday have any information available for them. I want to be able to open the app and see all of the roads in my area like it used to be. It constantly crashes. BRING BACK THE OLD STYLE!!!! The Iowa app is far better!

Changing my previous review... What did you do to the app? I just want to be able to see how the roads are, without having to put in where I'm going each time. Are they covered in snow? Are they icy and slick? Are they clear? Have the ability to put where you're going as an option, not a requirement to get road details. Also, I cannot register to try to personalize the app. Cannot get past the optional ad of phone number. And any other changes I make, do not stay. This update is terrible!

It was better when they showed the detour routes for road construction. Can't find that now. I run a lot of the back roads and it helped out a lot last summer. Now can't find the detours route and that is costing me time and money. Had a detour take me over 60 miles out of the way and if I known the route I could have taken i different route that was only 10 miles. Not happy with the new setup

Let me help you fix that issue. Road construction reports with detour routes can be added to the map by tapping the "Layers" button located in the bottom Right of the main screen and then checking the "Road Reports" box in the Layers panel. Please let us know if you continue to have a problem.

What’s new

-Updated default layers for Summer
Critical Disruptions
Traffic Speeds
-Remove the Winter Driving and Plows Quick buttons.
