Avoid the traffic as you drive with this official Android app from the RAC.

Look into any app store and you will find a plethora of single-function applications that will go unused for long periods, before prove themselves utterly invaluable when you really need them.

RAC Traffic is one such app. It uses GPS and Google Maps on your smartphone to locate the position of your car as you drive and indicate on the map areas of traffic congestion around you. The data it uses is real time and accurate – not only using reports from national traffic services, but also vehicle data as well.

With text-to-speech support it is possible – and safe – to use as you drive; only the occasional software crash let it down.
