Hi Brad,
In your post you ask for a service that combines the best features of Google traffic for maps, predictive traffic by time of day and day of week and Microsoft ClearFlow that offers a route to avoid congestion. MapQuest is not the answer.
Proxpro (www.proxpro.com) patent pending technology does this and more. Proxpro's new product "Prompt" fuses your calendar with GPS, in effect adding a time dimension to navigation. For a calendar event in the future it calculates the fastest route, with predictive traffic, specific to the time and day of travel; for your next trip, it compares your current location with the location of your next meeting and a "when to leave" alert pops up on your mobile home screen showing the time until your latest departure time, and the real-time and predicted traffic of the drive ahead. On route a user consults Proxpro Prompt to make sure they are still on schedule. We believe it the most accurate personalized traffic solution on the market. It is just as relevant for daily commutes as unfamiliar journeys. The weaknesses of both the above solutions are as follows. They are both: pull-based (you have to input address / time data), web-based (inconvenient, mobile is far superior), and take no consideration of non-re-occuring traffic. Let me know if I can provide any further information.
Best wishes,
Julian Bourne
