GOOGLE MAPS ADDS TRAFFIC FOR MELBOURNE

A bit late to be classified as news but woot!

"The traffic information on Google Maps comes from data provider Intelematics Australia and is sourced from data from other motorists.

"This means motorists provide information on current traffic conditions by setting their mobile phone up to share anonymous data."

Too bad (or is that luckily?) the iPhone can't run background apps.
