Watching the Top Gear presenters tearing round racetracks and exotic countryside is good therapy for us traffic-nuts whose day jobs it is to report the slow crawl of the daily commute.
We at KeepMoving have a long history with Top Gear. It started back when the show had a slightly-awkward magazine format. Those days, we sat and watched it. Later on they starting contacting us to get statistics for their traffic-based segments. And this week we proudly present a joint competition.

Old vs. new routing
Recently we rolled out our new route specific traffic feature on Vodafone 2222. The new feature detects your location and then prompts you to enter the first part of any UK postcode - it then provides you with a journey time and details of any traffic problems on your journey.
This new feature replaced the old route specific feature, where callers would hear details for the route which they had previously set up on the KeepMoving website. The rationale for this was that take-up for the old feature was rather low and the new one would have far broader appeal, which has proven to be the case.
We were very confident that the new feature would also appeal to users of the old one - we added a feature which remembers your previous destinations and then suggests them back to you, based on the time of day of the call.
However, we have registered 6 emails from callers who feel rather passionately about this change. As an interim solution, callers can dial 09003 444999, which is charged at 60p per minute - this has the old feature.
But what do you think? Let us know by posting your comments below or click our online poll to the right of this message.
