Google Traffic live on screen.
Display live Google Maps traffic conditions, commute times, and route information on digital signage screens in lobbies, break rooms, and operations centres.
Traffic Conditions at a Glance
Google Maps provides the most comprehensive real-time traffic data available. Hangar.Media displays live traffic maps and commute time estimates on digital signage screens so employees can check road conditions before heading home, visitors can plan their departure, and logistics teams can monitor delivery route conditions. All without pulling out a phone.
What you can do with live on screen.
Three capabilities that make this integration essential for your digital signage network.
Live Traffic Overlay on Screen
Display a Google Maps view centred on your location with the live traffic overlay enabled. Green roads are clear, yellow is moderate, red is heavy. Employees can assess their commute at a glance from across the lobby.
Check your commute from across the lobby.

Common questions. Straight answers.
Does this use the Google Maps API?
Yes. Hangar.Media uses the Google Maps JavaScript API with traffic layer to display live traffic conditions. You may need a Google Maps API key depending on your usage volume. Basic traffic map display is included in the Hangar.Media integration.
How often does the traffic data update?
Google Maps traffic data updates in near real-time. Hangar.Media refreshes the traffic display at your chosen interval, typically every 2 to 5 minutes, to show the latest conditions.
Can I show traffic for multiple areas on different screens?
Yes. Each signage screen can display a different map area centred on a different location. A multi-site company can show local traffic at each office location on screens in their respective lobbies.
Can I combine the traffic display with other content?
Yes. The traffic map can be displayed as a zone on a multi-zone screen alongside other content, or added to a playlist rotation with announcements, dashboards, and other content types.
