cool, i was not aware of that application. might be worth looking into. it feels like it wold need a pretty large critical mass to make real time traffic useful though.

also, how do they make money?

AFAIK they sell location libraries and maps, the app is just an "example" of how to consume their real product, and is probably used to also collect anonymized realtime data.
