Right. Using the highways agencies feed I found earlier I've knocked up a searchable UK traffic alerts site at www.davecozens.com/uktraffic
It supports multiple searches, so if you want to search for M5 South and M42 West, just enter: -
[INDENT]M5 South|M42 West[/INDENT] and click the "Search Now" button.
Can be bookmarked with Search params. Might make a widget later...
Oh. and it reloads automatically every 3 minutes
You are a busy little bee.
lol. Not much use to you in Australia.
Nah. Not really. The RSS feeds are provided by the highways agency. All I needed to do was link em up and make em searchable.
I need to drive about 200 miles on my way home and I'd like to see traffic before I hit it. On multiple roads. So I knocked something up to cover my needs.
And then I thinks to myself, somebody else could use this... et voila
All I need now is a way to make it pay for itself if it becomes busy....
Tell the users it will randomly show pictures of your cat at in-opportune times until they donate a pint.
lol. I though lots of people liked to look at pictures of cats on the internet...

Now that's a widget I wouldn't mind having 😊

The first hit is free then make them pay for the widget.
People probably do not like looking at cats when they are navigating. 😊
Anyhow, bed time. Catch you later.
lol.
I'm thinking premium features: -
- favourites
- auto refresh
- email alerts
- widget support
I'm thinking a quid a month... opinions appreciated
This time next year you'll be a miwwionaiire. 😊

unlikely rodders 😉
right. i've added some stuff to make it work faster and not fall over when the highways agency feeds are being slow. and i'm detecting symbian and formatting accordingly.
feedback appreciated...
