Google Maps now offering traffic info

Google Maps is my favorite mapping service because of the simplicity of the interface compared to MapQuest and other competitors. Google Maps has just become even better with the addition of traffic conditions (look for the traffic icon on the map itself). Here's the word, straight from Google:

Now, along with current traffic conditions, you can see traffic incidents such as accidents, construction, and road closures in most cities where we have traffic coverage on Google Maps. Also, when you turn on the traffic layer, a new control will pop up so you can change
the day and time to see typical traffic conditions, based on historical data.

Historical data? cool. To see the current Columbus traffic conditions, just enter "columbus, oh" into the address box. To visit Google Maps, click here.
