I made a few minor changes to include the zoomed sections of the Real-Time map. I hope everyone finds the new features useful.

TIP: You can monitor multiple maps and cameras on specific road segments by spawning multiple copies of the widget on your desktop. All you have to do is to make several copies of the widget file, rename them so each has a unique name (example: HouTraffic_01.widget, HouTraffic_02.widget, ... ) , then start each of them up. Depending on the number of copies you plan on running, you may want to monitor your network traffic and adjust your update time accordingly.

An update which includes some new features is coming soon. If you just downloaded this version, check back in a few days. You'll want to have the new version so stay tuned!

Steve, please email me at rstelly@houstonclassifieds.com if your interested in a sponsor for your houston traffic cam. Thanks.

Mandy, Jason: The "route builder" feature is something that's in the works and in fact will allow you to choose individual cameras instead of just a specific road segment. That will give users more control over which camera locations make sense for your commute.

As for camera directions, unfortunately unless specifically specified in the links I have for Houston Transtar, there's really no way to determine which way they're pointing other than what's displayed on the date/time stamp on the camera image itself.

Hey Steve,
are you looking for any sponsors? I have a Houston based website and would be interested in sponsoring this widget in exchange for a link to my site on it. The site is HoustonClassifieds.com. Please let me know. Thanks.
