## What is Road Aware?

Road Aware shows you what is happening on the roads around you, all on a single map.

WHAT YOU SEE
- Congestion, with the level shown by colour and line width
- Road closures, lane restrictions and roadworks
- Incidents and accidents
- Temperature and conditions where you are

THE VIEW FOLLOWS YOUR SPEED
At a standstill or in slow traffic the map stays close in. As your speed rises the map widens, so you see further ahead. You can set the speed range at which this happens.

BUILT SO YOU DO NOT TOUCH IT WHILE DRIVING
- The map follows your position automatically
- Switch between north-up and heading-up
- The scale stays the same when you rotate the screen
- Optional keep-screen-on

MAKE IT YOURS
- Four styles for how congestion lines are drawn
- A threshold for how heavy congestion has to be before it appears
- Refresh every 15, 30 or 60 seconds
- Weather overlay on or off

PRICING
- Free: up to 5 hours of regular traffic and weather updates per month. Beyond that, updates slow down, and at 10 hours they pause until next month. The map and your location keep working
- Standard (auto-renewing, price shown in the app): up to 30 hours of regular updates per month, with a free 7-day trial the first time
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings
