Image by Ronnie Garcia via FlickrI have driven a few days and experienced Atlanta traffic. And a 6 lane parking lot.
A tech tip on dealing with traffic. Number 1, check before you leave. I use my iPhone to check Georgianavigator.com before I leave to see if I need to avoid traffic jam spot. Also I check the built in Google Maps Traffic in case something is different. And I always assume the worst. This has mad the diffrence between a 0.5 hr trip and a 1.5 hr trip. Now the Google Maps traffic is an unimportant feature if you live and work in say…. Cookeville, TN. In ATL it’s great. It’s almost a necessity
I used TomTom to navigate me where I’m going. I use one with the text to speech function where it will tell me I have a turn coming up soon and need to get in a certain lane and then it will tell me when to turn. If I miss a turn or go the wrong way it will automatically recalculate how to get to my destination from that spot.
I recommend gasbuddy.com to find where the lowest cost fuel is, and keep the gas bill down.
*ATL is Atlanta, GA, USA if you haven’t figured it out by now
