Provider of traffic and navigation services INRIX released the “Pro” version of its INRIX Traffic! free group texting app with much more features to help commuters get their way around the traffic faster. Here are the highlights:
- Best time to leave and expected time of arrival
- Drive and record favorite routes and/or save frequent destinations
- Predictive traffic – INRIX analyzes current traffic conditions, holidays, accidents and road construction, as well as other local variables to forecast anticipated traffic in 15 minute increments.
- Traffic incidents and cameras – enabled through INRIX’s partnership with ClearChannel’s Total Traffic Network.
In addition, INRIX Traffic! Pro supports real-time crowd-sourced traffic information from more than 1.5 million vehicles and mobile devices, covering more than 260,000 miles of roadways across the U.S. and Canada.
Interested? INRIX Traffic! Pro should be available for $9.99 for one year and $24.99 lifetime from the AppStore. At the moment of this writing, though, I couldn’t find the app in iTunes. And since INRIX has already released an Android app, it’s fair to argue Android Market will be blessed with the “Pro” version in no time.

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
