I threw together a google maps mashup for commuters.

Historical Traffic Viewer

Its a rough prototype (and only works in the bay area). Its really a reaction to the new Google Maps features released yesterday.

I actually think Google missed the mark here. They seem to be targeting users who are planning a future trip. I agree… thats useful, and I’ll probably use it, but maybe once or twice a year. However, I commute everyday to work. And unfortunately, the features that Google released yesterday do not address my needs a commuter. As a commuter I want to see the current traffic trends. Not “average traffic”.
