BlackBerry Traffic

Though just updated about two weeks ago, BlackBerry Beta Zone members can log in and get a new version of BlackBerry Traffic for testing. This update brings the app to v3.0.0.389, and provides several fixes and improvements.

  • *Fixed* Audio guidance directions spoken after user selected “Cancel Destination”
  • *Fixed* “Towards” is pronounced with speaker contracting the “to” instead of “twa”
  • *Fixed* Exit number on road list spoken (when exit number available)
  • *Fixed* “Application not responding” on BlackBerry Storm 9550 SmartPhones
  • *Fixed* Application exiting during a phone call
  • *Fixed* BlackBerry Calendar integration
  • *Improvement* Audio guidance and quality improvements
  • *Improvement* GPS detection improvements

If you're a BlackBerry Traffic user, head on over to the Beta Zone and get your update. If you're not currently a member of the BlackBerry Beta Zone, now is as good a time as any to get signed up and take advantage of all it has to offer.

I installed this yesterday on my 9900. With the previous release you couldnt install on BB7 devices. Good work RIM

That's not true, all previous versions (up through the immediate prior beta version .353) installed and worked just fine on the 9810.

+1

I've had this on my 9930 since the beta program started for BB Traffic.

The last beta update wouldn't let me connect to download it. The release before that worked fine for me.

I should have been more clear...I installed the leaked 7.1 and it wouldnt work..,.

This version now works with 7.1 as well. I am really liking where they are going with this app.

Hmmm...all releases were installed on my 9810 no problem.

This is some of RIM's most effective work yet. To bad it took so long.

Nice app, but so ugly. They need to work the map into it.

My only issue with it and I use it a lot, all the audio comes out the speaker and if I am in an area where I get a lot of direction from the map, turn right, turn left, in 200 meters, etc, it shuts down my handfree device cause all the sound is coming from the speaker and my handfree device thinks my phone has gone away and turns itself off. It is really annoying and I can't change the settings on my handsfree device, if my phone is missing for more than 2 minutes it turns itself off to save battery life, built in setting, no change allowed.

i have only ever tried the speaker option (mostly to show it off to non-beta friends lol)...so you're saying it won't work on your bluetooth device?

 
 
Posted by Bulldawg Wednesday, Dec 21, 2011 154 days ago

It will work with any A2DP bluetooth device, but if the device isn't A2DP compliant, it won't use it. Many dedicated speakerphones and bluetooth earpieces don't use A2DP. The Motorola T505 I have, which is a speakerphone and streams music through bluetooth over an FM modulator, works great with BB Traffic.

I have an A2DPcompliant bluetooth earpiece, but I can't find how to route the voice directions to it. By contrast, Nobex Radio streams fine through the earpiece.

How do I change the settings?

The voice navigation feature is awesome especially I stream it to my A2DP bluetooth device. I don't even look at the phone at all. The only one issue I'm having with it is sometimes it will lose GPS signal, switch over to aGPS and never came back to GPS even when the sky is sunny and clear. And when that happened I just basically had to turn stop using it because the directions didn't get updated under aGPS connection.
When it stays on GPS, it works like a charm. I'm loving it.
