I could only see options for standard, terrain, hybrid. I already have my Google API key, and i was hoping to find a way to intergrate through this site instead of manually doing through eclipse if possible. Many thanks Lee Title Comments Hi Is there a way to overlay Google Traffic Data with the location map. I could only see options for standard, terrain, hybrid.

However, if you can get to the data you could query it server-side then output a JSON structure to power your map screen in your app. Again, never done this so it's hard to say how to get to the data. My hunch is that data from Google is Enterprise Only, meaning you'll need to pay for it to get to it. Google Maps is notorious for providing great data for free as long as you want to use it in a browser (javascript / DOM) and not server side. Sure, some is server provided but most Google Maps functionality are built to be consumed by the browser directly. Summary: If you can get to the raw traffic data you could easily do this. If you cannot, I'm not sure how you would. Comments Never worked with Traffic Data.
