![]() ![]() It lags, royally, on current roadway conditions. I had a major road closure just 3 miles away, that I had to look up just to find, after a friend had already told me about it! Kinda pointless if you have to search for things that are important to know about when they are that close. What I feel it does need: send alerts when something, like a road closure, occurs in your vicinity. Secondly, even if, which I doubt is true, they report your speed, if you are obeying the speed limit, who cares? ( Yeah, I forgot, none of you know how to drive, let alone how to obey silly things like speed limits.) Ok, first of all, it needs your current location to give you nearby alerts. IMPORTANT - NON-GPS DEVICES This application will have some limited functionality on these devices. ![]() IMPORTANT - Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. User understands and acknowledges that the Commonwealth Motor Vehicle Code states that 'No driver shall operate a motor vehicle on a highway or traffic way in this Commonwealth while using an interactive wireless communications device to send, read, or write a text-based communication while the vehicle is in motion.' User agrees to use the Application responsibly and to avert any interaction with mobile devices while driving a motor vehicle. IMPORTANT – This application is intended to be launched while the user is not operating his or her motor vehicle. You can run most music and other audio apps in conjunction with our app, which means our application may be in the background running while you utilize other apps. The application will continue to check your current radius for the alerts and play them for you. The app subscribes for location updates as soon as the application begins and can be run in the background in order to send you alerts as you travel. The application provides real-time advisories via audio, based on your current location. The application is based on Information Logistics’ patent-pending "Open Microphone Platform," which is a queue-driven streaming technology platform used in combination with your phone's built-in GPS. But if you would rather not participate, you will be able to opt out simply by clicking a radio button on the settings page. It can help improve our ability to provide real-time information about what is happening on our roadways. ![]() The data generated by collecting that information is useful. By default, the app reports your device-determined speed and location to our servers. We don’t receive or record any identifying information about you or your phone. You don’t need to register to use the app. If you place or receive a phone call while a travel alert is playing and do not have a plan that allows simultaneous data and voice, the alert will pause, and will resume playing when the call has ended. These controls should not be used while operating your vehicle. The application gives you audio player controls for Play, Pause, Stop, Skip, and Replay All. You also can elect whether to hear advisories from all directions or just from the direction you’re traveling, and you have the option of filtering out different types of advisories by state or type of roadway. 511PA will automatically repeat advisories every 20 minutes while you remain within range of the incident, but you can change the setting to hear the advisories more or less frequently. You just leave your phone in the center console or on the seat beside you and focus your attention on the road ahead.īy default, 511PA broadcasts advisories from within a 10-mile radius, but you have the option to reduce or expand the range to as little as one mile or as many as 500 miles. Nothing to read, nothing to click, nothing to scroll through. When there is an incident or slowdown nearby, 511PA broadcasts an advisory. 511PA uses your phone’s built-in GPS and the vast data in the PA, NJ and WV travel information system to determine when you are approaching congestion, an accident scene or some other traffic disruption. Simply turn on the application before you start your journey. 511PA provides real-time, hands-free traffic advisories for every PennDOT roadway in Pennsylvania, and for major roadways in neighboring states of NJ and WV, with more to come (visit the 'Settings' tab of the application in order to enable non-PA advisories). Get the most current and relevant Pennsylvania traffic information on your smart phone without ever taking your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel with 511PA, brought to you by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). ![]()
