Live Traffic Update for Penang on Google Maps

Google Maps has been providing live traffic update for Klang Valley since last year. Since I live in Penang, I am hoping Google do so for Penang. Finally, live traffic update for Penang is here! Melaka and Ipoh also have the traffic update as well.

To enable live traffic update on Google Maps, move your mouse to the right top of the maps, the maps options and other options will be appear, check on the "Traffic" and you can start seeing the traffic. I turned off the satellite view for better view of the live traffic.



It supposedly update for every few minutes. Here look at roads near to USM around 11pm last night:


This should applied to Google Maps on Android and iOS. Btw, Google Maps is back on iOS. Apple fan-boys finally can have Google Maps on their iPhone. Heard that it is much faster now.

Finding Free WiFi in Penang

Even though quite a lot of people subscribe to data plan or 3G/4G plan with their telco, there are even more people trying to stay out of it to reduce the phone bill cost. One of them is me, Penang Uncle. In my opinion, there is no need to always 'online' with data plan or 3G/4G plan, unless I am a VVIP and I need to check facebook/twitter/viper/whatsapp every minute. If I need to be on internet, I can easily find free wifi hotspot in many places.

Penang Government did a good job in recent years to work with private companies to enable as many as wifi hotspot all over Penang. But where are these wifi hotspots?

Check out this webpage to find the free wifi hotspots in Penang:

You might need to register before use the free wifi service with a valid email account. And speed is not guarantee. Even the free wifi I use at Japan (I went to Japan on Apr 2012) also don't have guarantee speed.

Enjoy your free wifi in Penang!
