I know this is the fastest way!
Category: Fergie Digital
I often get into arguments about the fastest route to and from a location. I am usually right... but now when Microsoft gets the new service out, I will have evidence.
"Clearflow" is an upcoming service that will lead to traffic based desicions about routes. If the highway is clogged up, but the streets are in worse shape, this software is supposed to be able to tell you the cold reality that your route is currently the fastest route.
"Clearflow" sounds a lot like the leastcostpath machine from my early CSE days.
I already have a GPS that uses traffice information, not sure how good it is as I have yet to be stuck in traffic... maybe that means its really working! It will be nice to see what Microsoft comes up with next to make my life easier. I hope this becomes a service that can be used in conjunction with GPS packages so that the service could be used universally. What it looks like will happen is that Microsoft is working to make the company indispensable in every part of your life.

Finally this will prove that 71 to 70 is a faster way to get to the spot than 270. I will accept your surrender at any time.
