Google Maps brings live traffic coverage to 13 European countries, makes work weeks even shorter

A higher time you head out for a leisurely Sunday drive along the autobahn, you could possibly wanna take a minute to refer to Google Maps’ live traffic feature, now available in Germany and 12 other nations across Europe. Announced earlier this week, the recent addition offers regularly updated coverage of all highways and major thoroughfares in countries like Spain, the Netherlands and Switzerland, while bringing more detailed street-level data to users inside the UK. Europe’s road warriors can also be capable of use a legend to profit about traffic patterns at specific times or days of the week, making it even easier if you want to micro-manage your summer getaway to the Swiss Alps. Learning ways to fit your whole luggage into the back of a Twingo, however, is another matter altogether.
