TrafficLand's Real Time Traffic Cameras Come to Bing Maps
One of our favorite resources, both personal (to avoid traffic) and professional (to demo a truly real-time service) is TrafficLand.com. The service aggregates (usually by city or region) thousands of live traffic cameras from around the globe. It's one thing to hear a traffic report that is likely a few minutes old versus a live camera at a specific location to quickly see what is going on.
Today, we learn that TrafficLand cameras will now be a part of Bing Maps.
TrafficLand developed a Microsoft Silverlight application for use within Bing Maps to display live traffic video from thousands of cameras showing real-time traffic, weather conditions and major news events. In addition, the TrafficLand application gives Bing Maps customers’ access to "Top Local Cameras." This feature displays the most viewed cameras from TrafficLand.com, and serves as an indicator of important events (traffic/news/weather) that are of interest to customers.
+ To Access Bing Maps with TrafficLand, head to the Bing Maps Beta (You'll Need To Have Silverlight Installed)
