1. A computer-implemented method of displaying on a graphical map traffic flow data representing traffic conditions on a road system, the road system encompassing a predefined geographical region, the method comprising:
- obtaining traffic flow data for the road system;
obtaining a selection of an object of interest within the geographical region, the object of interest having a corresponding geographical location;
creating a 3D graphical map of at least a portion of the road system, wherein the 3D graphical map includes three dimensional models for landmarks and terrain; and
displaying the traffic flow data and the object of interest on the 3D graphical map using a movable virtual camera to rotate the 3D graphical map around the object of interest.

Abstract
Traffic flow data is obtained for a road system that encompasses a predefined geographical region. A user then selects an object of interest within the geographical region. The object of interest has a corresponding geographical location. A graphical map of the road system is then created and the traffic flow data representing traffic conditions on the road system is displayed on the graphical map, wherein the graphical map includes the geographical location of the user-selected object of interest.
