Easy "Live Traffic Map" using Image Tile

If you Google the phrase:

traffic “<city_name>”

the first result will include a current snapshot of your area’s traffic. This is a ‘live’ image, in the sense that pinging the Image_URL at a later time will show the changing road conditions.

Use this to your advantage you setting up an Image Tile in hubiVue. Right-click the browser image in Google and select “Copy image address”, then paste that into the appropriate URL field in HV, and set the Update time to 1 Minute (recommended) or longer.

Now, your resizable tile (aim for an aspect ratio of roughly 3:5) will always show current traffic conditions no matter when you look at it.
