VDOT 511 Virginia Traffic

I think that this app is extremely useful and has access to all the traffic cameras with most of the time, a good picture. The app is vary well built and a lot of time has been put into it by the busy VDOT. The map concept is well displayed. I just wish other states put as much effort into travel info as the VDOT has!

It would be nice if the app would allow background audio to continue playing when looking at the traffic cameras. It doesn’t really make sense as the traffic cameras do not feature any audio. Therefore music, podcast, audiobook, etc should be allowed to continue playing uninterrupted. Additionally on some of the cameras it can hard to figure out the direction of travel the camera is facing. Thank you.

I remember before the update when the cameras would load. The issue has been addressed. Cameras are functional again.

I enjoy using this app. One recommendation to Trip Notifications...is it possible to add a date feature and not just days of the week? What if you only go to a location monthly or bi-weekly or just once? How the app is set up now, you will be notified weekly until you remove the notification.

It is unclear to me why the Virginia DOT is spending our tax dollars creating and publishing their own specific app. Stupid strategy. The Google maps and traffic they are using I can get right on my Samsung phone, why do we need this additional app? Just seems like a big waste of tax (millions probably) $$$. Our state gov at work, as usual.
