A new service is "Traffic," a capability to detect the flow of traffic and, if necessary re-route the user around critical events, such as accidents and traffic jams. The service is supported by data that is collected from road sensors maintained by the Department of Transportation (DoT) as well as fleet data that is collected from the GPS systems commercial systems installed for example in trucks. The traffic service is free if users sign up for the Telenav's general navigation service until June 30 2007, which is priced at $10 per month. Beginning in July 2007, the traffic service is available for an additional $4 per month.
