Very bad don’t try! You just will spend your time

No cameras.

Road cameras still won’t work

Doesn’t work anymore with IPad

Takes minimum 45 sec to load. When it does load it lands on Russia. Once I get it to New York, the videos take forever to load, then they continually flash on and off.

Mostly useless

It’s been a year and these idiots at NYDOT can’t even get the cameras working… but let’s just keep spending tax dollars and a football stadium for a football them that can’t get past the play-offs.

Not as in depth as the 511 map website

Doesn't show local road closures or most incidents that appear on the website itself.

Great Hopes

Sunk with first try. It takes over your radio but does not tell you anything. Keep working on it. You cannot wven tel what roads it means. Waze is infinitely better

Very useless

Doesn’t do anything

Can’t find addresses

Says it can’t find the address it just confirmed by you typing it in.

The route options are badly programmed

Tried setting up a route that I normally travel to the city. Whatever picks the roads used is terrible, even using multiple waypoints to try to force the route to follow the path. An absurd combination of surface streets, reversals on parkways and unnecessary route changes make it impossible to force the route to follow any reasonable path. The rest of the features can be found online, so there's not much point in getting the app.

Completely useless.

Worthless, just like the rest of the NYS government..now with this latest version the map won't even open up..

This is a nice app

great app to get around New York highways systems. It tells us if there are accidents and constructions ahead

Very complicated

The website has helpful information, such crossing times for the bridges and tunnels. However, this app is poorly implemented and too complicated to be useful. Another example of poor innovation by government.
