## What is CHPMap?

Know what's happening on California highways — right now.

CHPMap Pro shows real-time California Highway Patrol (CHP) incidents on a live, interactive map, so you can see collisions, hazards, road work, and closures before they slow you down. Tap any incident for the full CAD log — type, location, time, and unit updates — in clean, readable detail.

Why drivers rely on CHPMap Pro:
- Real-time CHP incidents, statewide
- Tap any incident for full details and live updates
- Fast, map-first design built for the road
- Save favorites and share incidents with a tap

Add the layers you want:
- Traffic Cameras — live Caltrans highway camera feeds
- Weather Alerts — NWS zones, color-coded by severity
- EV Chargers — public charging stations
- Rest Areas — Caltrans roadside stops

Great for daily commuters, long-distance travelers, fleet and field teams, and anyone who wants a clearer view of the road.

CHPMap Pro is not affiliated with the California Highway Patrol. Incident and map information may be delayed or incomplete — always follow official guidance and road signs.

Premium layers (Traffic Cameras, Weather Alerts, EV Chargers, Rest Areas) are optional auto-renewing yearly subscriptions, each with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2024-02-05*

Will not work on Apple devices

### 1/5 — Useless but not their fault

*2019-06-12, version 5.1*

It’s not the software, it must be the CHP but a lot of incidents on state  and federal highways are just not appearing on the map. I used to rely on it but can’t anymore. Today there was a major incident on highway 29 in Napa County. It never was on the map. Last week 3 lanes blocked on US 101 in Santa Rosa. Never was on the map. The app is now useless. The incidents are also not appearing on the CHP incidents site, so it’s the CHP’s fault.

### 1/5 — Push Notifications

*2018-08-28, version 5.1*

You seem to have to know some kind of ICU programing language just to configure the push notifications. Ther are no instrucitons that I can find on how to do this from the app creator.

### 5/5 — Nicely done

*2018-08-24, version 5.1*

I’ve been using this for years.  It’s very useful for getting accurate up to date info on CHP calls.  I’m not sure what I’d do without it.

### 2/5 — So frustrating

*2014-11-30, version 4.0.4*

Update: I would like my money back if you cannot fix the problem please.  I have removed and downloaded the app 20+ times and still can not get it to work. Thank you for updating but it's still not working!  I'm about to give up.

### 1/5 — Still crashes

*2014-11-30, version 4.0.4*

Great app on my iOS 7 devices.  Still crashes on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8). With current version (4.0.4) lost ability to send bug report.  Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2014-11-27, version 4.0.4*

I paid for this app and now with IOS8 it crashes as soon as I try to open it. Needs to be fixed ASAP. Update did nothing to help! Latest update did nothing. I want my money back.

### 3/5 — Very Frustrated

*2014-11-27, version 4.0.4*

Even after 3 updates the app still crashes. U need to find the problem and fix it

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2014-11-24, version 4.0.3*

Still crashing after latest update;(

### 2/5 — Update still crashes

*2014-11-04, version 4.0.1*

I have an iPhone 6 and the app still crashes when I try to load. I have deleted and reloaded with no success on getting it to work. It does work on my iPad with the same operating system.
