We do our best to respond quickly to changes to local roads and pride ourselves on reacting to feedback from customers (you asked us to remove the ads, so we removed the ads) and continually adapting and improving our service, so if you have any comments or suggestions as to how we can improve this app, then please let us know.

We are able to do this because we have teams of AA experts actually on the road.
Our interactive maps let you search by name, address and postcode and also choose options for caravans – or routes that will avoid tolls and congestion charges.
* App includes unlimited AA routes for a whole year.
* AA Route Planner provides comprehensive route planning for journeys across Great Britain and Ireland.
* Routes that are researched by AA team of experts who continually drive the roads to create the easiest routes for you to drive.
Easy selection of start and destination locations by place name, address and postcode lookup or from your current GPS location. Routes and turn-by-turn instructions are displayed on interactive maps and also as a list of turning instructions with distance and drive times. Routes can be optimised by driving preferences.
The app allows you to show your current location and to see where you are on the map/route. You can even route from your current location using the on-board gps and store places that you route to and from as favourites.

RAC Traffic Plus - Oakley Integrated Business Solutions Ltd.
|
|
|
RAC Traffic Plus takes the most up-to-date traffic data available from all areas of the UK and displays it on an interactive map. In addition, RAC Traffic Plus allows a route to be planned and the traffic is overlaid on this planned route. While this is not meant to be a sat nav solution, it does provide a very useful traffic solution with route planner functionality. RAC Traffic Plus uses the most comprehensive information available and is provided not only from the various traffic and road agencies, but also from vehicle data which is updated every 5 minutes.
How it works
The application has been designed to be intuitive and easy to use, with simple coloured dots on the map that instantly show the severity of any incidents. A tap on an incident marker brings up a text description of the incident. This can be overlaid with a route and simply show where areas to avoid may be along that route.
Where we know the start and end point of the incident, they are shown on the map to help you avoid the whole area. Speed and delay information is also shown so that you can easily decide whether or not to change your route. The severity information gives a simple recognition of the problem ahead and shows the actual position of the incident on the map.
Text information on the incidents can also be seen using the ‘incidents’ button. This shows a complete list which can be ordered by region, or by those incidents nearest to you.
