The Scout GPS app has been updated with real-time traffic alerts, an improved traffic summary, and more.

Scout is your daily personal navigator that gets you around traffic wherever you go. Powered by over 100 million traffic sources, Scout offers traffic-conquering tools designed specifically for when you’re on the go. From your daily commute to everyday errands and weekend fun, Scout gets you—and gets you there with free voice-guided GPS navigation.

Features:
• Do more with less hassle—The personal commute dashboard is updated in real time with the most relevant local info. See your traffic-based commute times and current traffic flows with a glance. Find your recent and favorite destinations, discover nearby places like restaurants and cheap gas stations, and get turn-by-turn navigation to home and work, all with just a tap.


• NEW! Stay connected wherever you go--Log in with Google+ or Facebook to sync your favorites, recent places and settings across multiple devices.

• NEW! More ways to beat traffic— Know when to leave and what route to take for your commute with alerts about traffic conditions. With the new route summary, preview your route with traffic for every turn and easily reroute around backups with a simple swipe.

• Real-time adaptive routing—Get the most efficient routes with the least amount of traffic, one-tap adaptive rerouting to avoid jams, and street-level traffic views for major roads and side streets.

• Help others beat traffic too—Report traffic congestion, police, road hazards, and accidents with a simple tap to help your fellow Scout drivers avoid gridlock or being pulled over.


• Find anything fast—Scout’s OneBox search is fast and intelligent with autocomplete for better, relevant, and easy-to-read results. You can also simply say “Hey Scout” to activate voice search for a completely hands-free experience—no typing necessary!

• Get free voice guidance—Scout guides you to your destination with free turn-by-turn, voice navigation and also listens to your voice commands to search or drive, so you can enjoy the journey hands free and without distractions.

• No more “where are you??” texts—Scout lets others know when you’ll be there and lets them follow your real-time progress on a map with OnMyWay® ETA-sharing.

• Discover the local weekend scene—Find places to go and things to do like live music, bars, shows, family events, sports, movies, and more. Plan online at www.scout.me and sync your favorites between the site and the app. Share your discoveries with friends vial email, text, Facebook, and Twitter.

What's New In This Version:
• Know exactly when to leave--Get real-time traffic alerts about your commute and save time with the most efficient route.
• Improved traffic summary—Your route summary is easier to view and helps you avoid traffic, all from one screen! Scout is the only navigation app that shows you turn-by-turn traffic conditions with the convenience of audio playback of incidents along your route. Simply swipe the traffic segment you want to avoid.
• Scout is the only navigation app to have true hands-free voice activation. You can now launch Scout and say “Hey, Scout” anytime to search and drive to places. No typing necessary!
