Real time information

I used Google Maps to plan my journey to the set target of Tottenham Court Road. I typed in where I was starting from using a postcode area and then I typed in the destination. The results that came back gave me a choice of a shorter route with tolls or a longer one with no tolls. It gives me directions to the destination. This could be printed off; however it gives me little information on current real time information on traffic problems, roadwork’s etc.  And I can’t download the information into my SatNav from the site.
I used Weather Monitoring System to have a look for current weather in South-East London. The page was updated every minute to give real time information. The site has a picture of weather there which you seem to need to refresh to get an updated picture. The site also gives the temperature and wind. The problem is that it is very technical and you need to know what you’re looking for otherwise you can get easily confused by the updating. It would be better if it had a live video stream. http://weather.atomwide.com/
