511 Georgia Reviews

The 511 app used to be a great resource. I would check out the accident and construction areas in the areas I was going to be traveling. The cameras were helpful, too. Now, it looks like they’re trying to compete with some of the Map Apps. I’m sorry, but I’m not going to ditch a Map App that works all over the country for one that just does the state of Georgia. 🙄 Please consider returning to the earlier version of 511Georgia that was useful! I used to use this daily! Now, not so much!

511Georgia used to really work well. You could search highways, construction, and for incidents on roadways. Now it does absolutely nothing. You can’t find any information on here.

1st off why fox something if it isn’t broke.. The interface used to b sooooo easy. Just click on cameras and then click on the highway u wanna look at and then scroll to what area of highway u want to c live. I was an avid looker of the traffic cams and now I can’t find sh.t…… u used to b able to swipe and I could see the actual live feeds for how ever far I chose… u can not do that any more. I’ve actually tried to call 511 and find out what happened and how do I look I cameras now. Even the worker who answered said yea, they made it incredibly hard…. GA511, please make it easy again to view the live cams so I can see if I wanna take a certain route or not!!!!

What used to be basic and simple is now so confusing & complicated. The map I used to click on showed red/yellow or green stripes of how traffic was running in live time. You just clicked on map and you could navigate anywhere on map and see it live. The update is so painful! No red/yellow or green lines, just a map with no info and if u click map it pops back within seconds to another screen that isn’t helpful at all. What’s going on? This isn’t user friendly at all, it’s actually more dangerous as we’re trying to find the easier logical map that no longer exists which takes our eyes off our driving and wastes time searching this terrible app now for nothing! IM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS NOW! I removed app cause it’s actually a major distraction trying to navigate it! Thx 511 for nothing!!!!!

Before the update, 511 app’s interface was user friendly and practical. I checked 511Georgia before I got on the road every time I had to drive. Access to the cameras allows me to gauge traffic and the alerts were so helpful.

After the update, 511Georgia is useless to me. Finding a traffic camera is similar to finding a needle in a haystack. Why make it so difficult to access them? And, don’t get me started about the hideous blue dots. What purpose do they serve? Why do I have to zoom into the dots and the. Zoom in even further to find a traffic camera? I used to be able to just locate the Hwy that I need and then find the traffic camera that I want to access. Why make 511Georgia more difficult to use? This update removed the ease, simplicity, functionality and practicality. Now, 511Georgia serves no real purpose at all other than to completely frustrate me. I’m so disappointed in this update that I will be deleting it immediately.

Obviously, you failed to hire a developer/team that specializes in end-user design and real-world experience. Someone with actual experience using 511Georgia .

Pls return 511Georgia to its previous version. This is one of the worst updates that I’ve ever seen.

Keeps Crashing!!!

Totally useless. Sitting in a traffic jam and 511Georgia tells me nothing. It is absolutely useless. Used to be good.

I live outside of ATL and found 511Georgia helpful when visiting. The latest update is a disaster. It’s like someone wanted to see just how well stuff could be hidden! Ugh!

That title best sums up this useless app. 99% of the cameras never work. And the only reason I even keep this worthless app on my Ipad. Just like everything else GDOT does, it doesn't work and is a complete failure.

511Georgia revision is awful. Why change what was working before? You can’t even see the map for all the blue camera dots. Can’t find local incidents like before. Just a hot mess. I’ll stick with Waze.

App is average whit icons too close together, but the DOT cameras are terrible. 1) most are broken-take them off 511Georgia if not working. 2) cameras are dirty which makes them useless. 3) some cameras are pointing in a direction that does not make sense. More tax payers dollars wasted.

511Georgia was really good before the update but since they done the update they overhauled the entire app and now it’s crap the cameras are saying streaming video error and that’s almost always don’t waste your time on 511Georgia.

The developers should be jailed. Today was a major accident, and it took four MINUTES to launch because it had to update the smash screen. Then 511Georgia was useless in my car - unless I wanted a 50,000 foot view of Virginia.

I just downloaded 511Georgia based on local news recommendations after the flooding from hurricane Helene. I verified road closures and flooding all around Metro Atlanta for my route that 511Georgia shows as clear. It might have some information about interstates, but completely useless for normal roads.

I like being able to see the cameras but there is no need for built navigation in 511Georgia. In addition to that odd addition 511Georgia constantly crashes every couple of minutes for no apparent reason.

Streams of cameras that would help my travels are rarely available. Maybe you should get some pointers from South Carolina on how to run your system, the cameras there are almost always working and very reliable. Huge disappointment.
Would give 0 stars if it was an option.

I’m not sure what I going on but in metro Atlanta there are cameras all over that display no information. “Stream not available “ should not be the normal display for traffic cameras…. I hate to think how much of our tax dollars are used on this technology that has become unavailable. Please get this fixed!

This really was the best app for keeping up with traffic in and around Atlanta. I’m a First Responder and used 511Georgia a lot to get around trouble spots that would slow me down going to hospitals. Now it is just too complicated to use. It was that you could just open 511Georgia choose the area you were wanting to go to and look at the cameras to see if traffic was backed up and what was causing it. Now it won’t stop flipping pages to options and takes forever to load the maps. You can’t even look at the cameras without having to go through ten different steps. COME ON 511!!!!! GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL WAY 511Georgia WAS!!!!!

511Georgia shows the 511 black splash page and that’s it. Never hands over to the map.

I liked 511Georgia when it showed live camera views of the interstates. It was nice having still shots of the others. I love the new live cameras from everywhere now! Great improvement.
