To do this, the app employs a colored dot (green for no heavy traffic, orange and red for slow traffic) and a tweaked interface that shows traffic details and multiple routes. This core aspect of the app hasn’t changed, but now the app can also tell you whether traffic is slow or if you can leave now and hope to arrive at a place with no considerable delays. Like Take Me There, ETA lets you configure locations you’re frequently visiting, but it puts the focus on the estimated time of arrival so you can instantly know when you’ll arrive at a location if you leave now. Today, ETA 2.0 has been released with a new design, the ability to show multiple routes and traffic information, and an Apple Watch app that lets you quickly view travel times and traffic directly from your wrist. Your preferences for walking/driving directions and time of arrival are carried over to the widget, which is simple, elegant, and useful. Taking a clue from Apple’s Today Summary in Notification Center, Eastwood created an iOS 8 widget that lets you see driving times in the Today view and tap them to quickly load directions in your mapping app of choice (Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze). I first covered ETA back in September, and I noted how the app simplified the process of getting travel times for favorite locations by taking advantage of a widget in Notification Center:ĮTA’s best feature is actually a way to never open the app itself.
