Real-Time Monitoring

  • Air traffic at several airports (fboweb.com) Look toward the bottom of the page for the window for "View live inbound traffic."
  • Current clouds.  Turn on the Clouds layer that is found under Weather.
  • Highway Traffic. Turn on the Traffic layer and go to a city that shows a tiny traffic light.  Zoom in so you can see the details of the major highways.  The colored dots give you the average travel speeds.
