1. A computer-implemented method of simultaneously displaying on a graphical map (i) traffic data representing traffic conditions on a road system, and (ii) weather data, the method comprising:
- (a) obtaining traffic data for at least some of the road system;
(b) obtaining weather data for the geographical region corresponding to the road system; and
(c) creating a graphical map of the road system and simultaneously displaying on the graphical map of the road system;
(i) the traffic data, and (ii) the weather data.

Abstract
Traffic data, such as traffic flow data, is obtained for a road system. Weather data is obtained for the geographical region corresponding to the road system. A graphical map of the road system is then displayed and the traffic data and weather data is simultaneously displayed on a graphical map of the road system. The graphical map of the road system may be a 2D or a 3D view. The weather data may be a graphical representation of weather conditions.

17. A computer-implemented method of simultaneously displaying on a graphical map (i) traffic flow data representing traffic conditions on a road system, and (ii) weather data, the road system encompassing a predefined geographical region the method comprising:
-
(a) creating a graphical map of the road system, the graphical map including one or more segments;
(b) determining a status of at least some of the segments on the graphical map, the status corresponding to traffic flow data associated with that segment;
(c) obtaining weather data for the geographical region corresponding to the road system; and
(d) simultaneously displaying on the graphical map of the road system;
(i) traffic flow data showing the status of at least some of the segments, and (ii) the weather data showing weather conditions for at least some of the segments. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
