Click on Help then search on "traffic".

Where did you get the info about the color coding? I can't see a key anywhere on the map, which would be useful to people stumbling across the "traffic" button the first time.

Adam, you may have to wait a bit on Google carrying your spawn, but I wouldn't rule out them having service providers on call in a few years. When I first encountered Google in 1999, it was a fellow librarian who showed it to me, gushing "It automatically writes Boolean search parameters if you type in Plain English queries!" At the time, that was quite revolutionary in search engines. Even now on Lexis/Nexis you have to use AND OR NOT ( My $98 investment on the IPO is now at $468. Googled is now an entry in the American Heritage Dictionary, and when I tell directors I Googled them before auditions, they know what I mean. If only all corporations were as good as Google. SIGH!

Google is positioned for world domination and I love it. This is pretty cool.

Dear Google: I love you. When will you figure out a way to carry my spawn and mow my lawn? Then we can settle down with our Goobabies and have a nice life for ourselves. Thanks Google. Once again, I love you... Adam.
