## What is Border Buddy?

Border Buddy is the easiest way to view multiple cameras showing traffic conditions at the Detroit / Windsor border. Easily plan which crossing will be the most convenient for your next visit across the border.

MULTIPLE BORDER CROSSINGS
View any of the publicly available camera feeds easily right from your phone. Use the camera feeds to determine which border has the last traffic, is open, or view weather conditions.

SHARE SCREENSHOTS
Whether you're checking the border conditions for yourself or a loved one, easily share a screenshot of the camera feed to others by long-pressing the feed and opening the Share Sheet.

GAS PRICES (Premium Feature)
If taking the Ambassador Bridge, easily check up on current gas prices to see if it's worth filling up while shopping at the duty-free store. View prices in both U.S. Dollars per-gallon, or in Canadian Dollars per-litre: making it easy to compare prices with gas stations at home. (Gas pricing requires paid access to Border Buddy Premium)

WIDGETS (Premium Feature)
While driving, it can be dangerous to use your phone to find the information you're looking for. Use Border Buddy's widgets to quickly glance at border conditions or gas prices when you're already on your way, or just leaving work. (Widgets requires paid access to Border Buddy Premium)
