a GPS-based online traffic system - questions for you
Do you use one/know of one?

I've been using traffic.com lately. It has my.traffic.com, but jesus, signing up and signing in are such a PITA. It shouldn't be like that.

But the traffic data is golden. So far.

Know of any others?

3. It does.
Go to the Maps application, tap the little icon at the bottom right that looks like a page being lifted, tap "Show Traffic" and you're done. Now the freeways/highways/interstates on your maps will be color-coded green/yellow/red depending on their degree of congestion.
