Live traffic information for 13 European countries
Wednesday, July 13, 2011 | 2:50 PM
Today Google Maps added live traffic coverage for 13 European countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain and Switzerland. The new traffic information will automatically be available in Google Maps for Android, iOS, and mobile browsers.
Right: Getting routed around traffic in Google Maps Navigation
With the addition of live traffic data, users in these countries will now also be able to be routed around traffic in Google Maps Navigation (Beta) to save precious minutes when possible.

Well, Israel takes part in the "European Song Contest". This is a proof that Israel is indeed in Europe. ;-)))

What is the data source for Czech republic? It seems to be wrong - the live traffic on our street is very different for your map :(

The same goes for Israel.
How can we use live traffic, if navigation is still not working?
It's like handing you a car, without a steering wheel.

Israel has European Mentality and democracy and freedom

Excellent news!
I'm all for devices like the Tom Tom, but if Google manage to pull off live traffic updates, and incorporate alternative route planning, based on current traffic info, using street view in google maps, i'll throw my Tom Tom away! lol

Good to note this. However, I am wondering if and when we can see India find a place in this list.
