Good idea, needs more polish more frequent update
the CP24 app has good ideas. Initially it feels like a typical map app with traffic information. Then one day it reported a slow down on hwy 400 due to people slowing down to watch the accident on the other direction. Now this is something new, isnt it? Not only did it report a slow-down it also gave the reason for it.
However, there are areas that need improvement. For example, once you pick a pre-recorded route, there is no easy way to cancel the route unless you pick another pre-recorded route. All I wanted to do is not to use any pre-selected route and just drive. Another example is that once you are on a route and it announced traffic alert, you have to wait for it to finish. If you select another route before the announcement is complete, you just have to wait. And it felt like eternity when you are in a hurry.
This app feels like they are onto something good, but the developer did not follow up to make it great.
UPDATE: 2012-10-30
There has been several updates since I left my comments. The developer not only addressed my complaints, but also added some new features. The most useful one is "find a route". Now you dont have a record a route. Just enter you destination and the program suggests one or more routes. Good stuff!
