Its usefull only if you live in one of the eight areas they support. Oh, and you dont mind seeing an ad for 2 minutes everytime you switch cameras.

Waste of time. GPS does it faster and better.

Not even sure if my area is covered, but I would like it if I could limit it to a couple of different cameras. I don't want to see the entire SF Bay area, only my little section of Hwy 101

I really do not see a practical use for this application. I think it is safe to say that if you are in any large city, there will be a lot of traffic especially before and after normal work hours. They might as well be monitoring the snow flakes in Antarctica. We know there is a lot of snow there, we just want to see it.

I think the only thing this application will do is encourage people to use it while driving so they can see their own car.

Sorry, it is just my opinion.
