Colorado Traveler6.4 - App Store

Colorado Traveler shows you the current status of major roads and highways throughout the entire state. By accessing Colorado Department of Transportation extensive road data, you can view traffic cameras, read alerts about construction and other road-related issues, get stats from weather stations, and read roadside signboard messages. We don't stop just with CDOT data; we also include cameras from Fort Collins and Colorado Springs. You can view road overlays that tell you weather-related driving conditions.

Version History This release has the following changes:

• added support for rectangular map pins, which is useful for certain data layers
• map settings now provides a sample map so you can see immediately what each setting does
• fixed a bug where popup windows were blank when running the app in dark mode 6.4 Aug 17 This version fixes some minor bugs and reorganizes some of the code for performance and stability. We also moved the map's legend into the layer menu. We hope you find this to be a cleaner and more useful update. 6.3 Jun 21 Fixes a bug where the legend didn't show for the traffic data layer. 6.2 Feb 17 This version provides a couple fixes for these bugs:

* for small devices, the layout wasn't fitting entirely
* removed the All States tab from the bookmarks tab; this is only for US Traveler
* the traffic overlay should not show up in the filter tab 6.1 Feb 16 This version is a complete rewrite to get in sync with its "mother" app, US Traveler. With this app, you'll find these changes:

* uses Apple Maps instead of Google Maps
* UI rewrite
* Using a new server, resulting in more and higher quality data
* You can now rotate your device on the image galleries to see larger images 6.0 Jan 27 Spelling correction + minor bug fixes 5.4 02/25/2023 This minor release fixes these issues:

1. The highway labels disappeared when we upgraded the underlying map technology. This fix brings the labels back
2. We renamed the "Filter" tab back to "Legend". You can still filter the pins you see, but we felt the purpose of it is mainly as a legend, so we renamed it back. 5.3 01/30/2023 This version updates the underlying Map software to get the latest bug fixes and improvements. 5.2 10/27/2022 This update fixes a caching bug which causes camera feeds not to be displayed sometimes.

Changes from 5.0:

We've made many changes on both the backend and the frontend of the app:

• All layers are now free of charge
• You can change the map style to one of several options. Access from the Settings tab
• The Legend has been renamed to Filter. It still provides legend information, but you can also filter out certain markers you don't want to see
• News pins for most data layers
• Some high-volume markers are only visible at certain zoom levels. Turning on mile posts, for instance, may not display them immediately because there are too many. You need to zoom in to see them
• The refresh button has been moved from the Layers menu to a button right on the map, in the upper left corner
• Cleaned up the UI on the Search tab
• Added a brand new rest area layer
• Improved the UI on the truck restrictions details, and now showing all photos instead of just two
• Improved UI ion weather stations 5.1 04/01/2022 We've made many changes on both the backend and the frontend of the app:

• Improved the UI on the truck restrictions details, and now showing all photos instead of just two
• Improved UI ion weather stations 5.0 03/16/2022 This release fixes an issue with mile posts. That data is rather large, and it will lock up phones with less memory. So now mile posts are displayed using clustering: Multiple, nearby markers are clustered together into a larger marker. To see the individual markers, you need to zoom in, and the clusters will open up. 4.9 01/21/2022 This release is for all you Colorado Truckers out there. We've added a few layers specific to trucks:

• Truck stops
• Truck speed ramps
• Truck restrictions
• Weigh stations

Also, CDOT has unfortunately removed support for snow plows, hopefully temporarily. Until those come back, we have turned off support for showing snow plows. 4.8 11/10/2021 This is a quick bug fix release. One bug is severe enough that this update is required. Bugs fixed:

1. The rewarded video ad sometimes didn't work properly
2. Some screens didn't look right on iOS 15
3. Removed the speed overlay from the layers menu; it is no longer provided by Colorado DOT 4.7 10/13/2021 Did you know you could get a free trial of most in-app purchases simply by watching a short video ad? No money, just a little of your time, and you get a full 24-hours of access to the feature. And you can do this over and over -- perfect for those features you use sparingly. This new version makes this functionality clearer. 

And to start things off, we added a new layer: Alternate Fuel Stations. Give it a try. For free! 4.6 09/22/2021 This is a mandatory update because the old server backing this app is going away in mid-September. This new version uses the new server. Also:

• Added a new mile posts layer that puts a marker on every mile post
• Fixed problem where chainups text was too big and getting truncated 4.5 08/31/2021 This version improves responsiveness by using a new backend that fetches data more efficiently. 4.4 08/03/2021 For all you dark mode users, this update fixes those text visibility issues when in dark mode.

Also there are a few other fixes and improvements, especially to the free trial screens. Did you know you can get a full 24 hours of free use of those for-purchase features? Give it a try; it's free! 4.3 10/26/2020 Other than the usual bug fixes, the main story for this upgrade is support for live streaming traffic cameras. These are all over Denver and a few in Boulder. They will have a slightly different icon. 4.2 08/12/2020 - Fixed a bug in fetching alert data
- Small UI improvements 4.1 04/29/2019 It has been almost a year in the making: Colorado Traveler has been rewritten from the ground up. Not only will you find a shiny new interface, but there are few new features. Here are the details:

• Side menu has been replaced with tabs and smaller menus
• New color theme, plus you can change it
• New snow plows layer (in-app purchase)
• Now you can get free trials for any in-app purchase features

• New app icon
• Squashed some bugs 3.6 04/26/2017 Fixed a bug where purchasing the removal of ads didn't actually remove the ads (oops). With this fix, you shouldn't have to repurchase. 3.5 12/03/2016 • Fixed bug that briefly displayed a black screen at app start-up
• Added historical marker support 3.4 09/20/2016 • Fixed a bug that prevented iOS 6 users from running the app
