History

Starting in 1999, Mapopolis first released software for the Palm OS and later added software for Pocket PC handhelds and Windows smartphones. Mapopolis created the first real-time traffic service (Mapopolis ClearRoute), providing real-time route updates based on traffic conditions.[http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2003Apr/bpd20030409019510.htm Geek.Com Article About Mapopolis ClearRoute] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050223160755/http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2003Apr/bpd20030409019510.htm |date=2005-02-23 }}{{cite web |title=Live Traffic Reports By PDA |website=Forbes |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170120031439/https://www.forbes.com/2003/04/11/cx_ah_0411tentech.html |archive-date=2017-01-20 |url-status=live |url=https://www.forbes.com/2003/04/11/cx_ah_0411tentech.html}}
