put in your zip-code, or click on the map.

Then among the options click on "JAMCAST"

this will give you a 2 or 3 minute update on traffic conditions in your area.

Pretty soon, this service will be available for cell-phones, at the gas pump, hotel lobbies and the like.. basically anywhere you can prop up a screen and get internet.

I've been working for several months with the rest of the team on this product, I hope you guys enjoy it and find it usefull!

Thats why you have to sit through the 20 second comercial. :)

I live in such a small town, there aint much need for trafic reports, but one of the busiest highways in the state runs thru it. Interesting though.

Really?? No insurance commercial?? You sure you didnt miss it? Its embedded, and should not open a new window..

either way, if you found a way to skip it, more power to ya!

For me, I need it. Indy is the Crossroads (or crosshairs) of america, and I live withing the crosshairs. we have at least 3 mahor highways, then 465 runs around the whole mess in a circle. you can get anywhere pretty easy, privided one of the highways or the beltway isnt jammed....then the whole thing descends rather rapidly into chaos.

Here it is.

LD, I just entered my zip and hit go, that was it. After that, I just bookmarked the zip code page. this bypasses all of it. Dunno if that is a glitch or not.

Ahh.. SteelCore..

you are watching the JamFactor page? Its a list and it gives you a graph of much traffic there currently is per road?

Look at the tabs on top of that, and hit JamCast, you'll get a much cooler video!
