Hello,

I have the setting ON for Traffic condition in the Notification center but I do not get any traffic information.

Is anyone experiencing similar issue ?

If anyone is getting the traffic info in notification center, can you please recommend the required settings?

Cheers!

BTW I am using iOS 7 beta 2.

I think you have to have location services on in Maps and Frequent Locations in addition to Traffic to get it to pop up.
 
I don't have the option? I'm on iPhone 4 iOS 7 beta 2, also where is the "frequent locations" menu?
 
I have both the settings frequent location and location in maps ON.

Is there any other setting that needs to be done.

Can anyone confirm if Traffic condition is available in Notification center?

It will take going back and forth a few times between two frequent locations to get it to show up...and even during Beta 1 it didn't always show.

I turned off frequent locations because I felt like it was burning through battery.

I would imagine that devices that can't get turn-by-turn navigation are not going to be able to get traffic updates.

That's what I was thinking so I ask that other guy what generation iPod he had, but I realized only 5th generation iPod gets iOS 7. Lol
 
Looking at my frequent locations, i don't know how it knows or what triggers the red dots in the history view.

I have a sizable one where I work and one at my home that's dinky. Not sure what the threshold is to have notification center pop up traffic conditions between them.... Wish there was more info behind how it worked to maximize it more.
 
My impression is that it only shows up at certain times. Right now, I'm not sure what the triggers are, or how well it's been ironed out since this is still a beta.
At this point, I'd just wait and see if it learns some info based on your frequent locations and starts offering up more details in NC.
I have a feeling that NC is not fully baked because they are saving some stuff for the public reveal in the fall.

If we aren't supposed to be using our phones while driving, how practical is this feature, unless we have an audio option?

It's not meant to be used while driving, but more like you look at it, for instance in the morning when you wake up to tell what time you need to leave to get to work on time.
 
It actually came back about a hour or two after I posted. Strange :) It looked really weird without any information there, just the date.

Showing up for me, I don't see them for GOING to work, but I always see it when I'm not home.

How did you get this traffic notification, can you please let us know if there is any specific settings to be done.

I like this feature since it will help to determine the route while driving to work/ home.
