We're looking for beta testers for Traffic Vizzion (http://www.vizzion.com), a program that allows BlackBerry users to view images from traffic cameras on their driving route. If you are interested please e-mail with your name, location and the model of your BlackBerry.

Thank you.

Dont have traffic info for my area

Jeremyot,

Installed fine. Map comes up fine. Try selecting nearby cameras the 8100 through a security pop up stating Vizzion is attempting to change a setting and I cannot navigate to say "Yes". Screen is frozen. Had to hard reset twice.

i will give it a shot....

Let me know if you get past the BB Permissions pop-up. I couldn't.

It works fine for me. Unfortunately, there are a lot of cameras that are in my area that are not on Traffic Vizzion. I guess I have to stick to just browsing to trafficland.com

it wouldnt download

The link from the email was a direct link to the download for me. If you used that one, then maybe, the server is overloaded. Just a guess.

I'll give it a try. I emailed.

Installed it before I left work. Enabled the Bluetooth GPS, started the application. The application waited patiently for the GPS to find the satellites.

It started to display the images from cameras a mile from my SUV. Pretty cool application.

Email sent. I would love an app like this.

My wife and I used this program driving this holiday weekend and am very impressed. Usually I either call my mom and have her look at Caltrans. Plenty of coverage in Orange County and San Bernardino and up to date. I recommend the trial version and make sure all the freeways you use are covered before you buy. I will be buying this program.

A quickie while I remember (heading out after getting home late). I was using it and it showed cameras and then I looked down and it showed "uncaught exception" but I have no idea what might have triggered it.

I was traveling on local roads for a while sandwiched between two interstates so it was grabbing from the east and from the west until I got on. But was on the interstate with good camera view when it cropped up.

Also, 8830, I brought up the Menu checking for screen on/off possible but when I pressed the ESCAPE key (right of trackball), I was out of Vizzion. I had to reload it. I guess the Esc key should return to camera view???? Not leave the program from Vizzion's menu.

I like it. Idea - show which direction the camera is looking as an N, S, E, W overlay as while glancing at the "small" image, trying to see which way the camera is pointing can be hard to do. At least, some of our cameras can be switched - not sure if you can capture that.

Also, do you cache images? In my two parallel highways, it bounced eaast and west showing the same camera again but had to get the image. Can't cache too much as memory is premium.

I like it.

Hello everyone,

A new beta has just been released. If you are interested in trying it, please contact . Thank you to everyone for your input.

The fixes in this release are as follows:

- Application no longer freezes when entering Find nearby, Watch Road Ahead, or Track Current Location
- Application will now say “No connection to GPS” instead if “Waiting for GPS” if the device does not have a built in GPS receiver and has not been set up to use an external GPS receiver
- Application should no longer freeze on startup screen
- File storage errors no longer require uninstall
- Escape key now performs expected function
- 81xx devices now support zoom in on maps

Thank you for all of your help. If you have any questions or find any more bugs, please contact

If we dont support your area, request it. We are adding regions to our database all the time.

FF2, we do not cache camera images. In some situations this can lead to camera bouncing as you described. The reason we always load new images when changing cameras is to make sure that the image is always as fresh as possible as well as to save memory. Try playing with the settings in the options menu. You'll find you can set the maximum, minimum and ideal ranges for cameras. Usually you can stop weird behavior by finding settings that work well for your area.

I hope that helps

i tried it today while driving. i like the way it swithed from camera to camera while i was driving. i jumped off the freeway when i saw the bad traffic ahead. i will play with the settings to try to get a better picture. very nice app. i use to get traffic alerts by email with a snap shot of traffic but this is a lot better.

This is with the prior version (downloading new right now), and I noticed the "uncaught exception" was due to "height width must be positive" or something to that effect.

Love this program. Great companion for my car GPS. My only request at this point.... I'd so love to have Delaware (Kent and Sussex counties) added to the database for the trips to the shore this summer.

As I said above, I really like this program so far. I can't, however, get it to connect to a Bluetooth GPS puck. Can you add this ability?

I have it connected to my Freedom puck. There is a "but" but I think this application interferes with my other gps apps - not sure and have not had a chance to try and isolate the issue.

The program uses the standard GPS functionality of the BlackBerry device to get location. You can configure your BlackBerry to use a bluetooth GPS by going to Options -> Advanced Options -> GPS after pairing it with your device. Some models of GPS puck require you to set them to "trusted" on the bluetooth options screen in order to work properly. Let me know if that helps.

I use the GA Navigator site and it's great! Software would be even better!!

Email sent. Seems pretty interesting.

Will this work on a Blackberry that does not have GPS capability? I have a Curve (8300) on the AT&T network.

Traffic Vizzion does work without a GPS device, you just wont be able to use all of the features.

I have used this app for a couple weeks now. It is very nice. I don't have GPS with my 8100 or external GPS, so I have to manually select my cameras. However, you can pick your favorite cameras, say, those on your daily commute, and have the app start up to a list of favorites.

Really a good, solid app. Nice work Jeremy.

Worked like a charm. Thanks! I'll try out the look ahead functions on my commute home this evening.

I was able to install from the download link. However, when I launch the program, I get caught in an endless loop of the program requiring changes to permissions. It keeps requiring a reboot and I never get any further.
