Item Description
The Global Alert Network delivers Hands-Free national traffic and weather alerts.  
The traffic alerts include accidents, slowdowns and construction zones.  The traffic alerts are sent automatically to your phone as you approach road incidents.  
The service provides over 100 different types of weather advisories, watches and warnings.  Weather alerts will be automatically sent to your phone if you are in a weather alert zone.  This service also provides a range of community alerts such as amber alerts and local and state communications.
The service does not require any human interaction to receive and hear the alerts.  You do not have to touch, look at or interact with the phone in any way.  Once you run the application, traffic and weather alerts will be automatically broadcast through your hand held device.  This will enable you to safely access significant traffic information in time to make important travel decisions. 
The service is free to consumers and its hands free design reduces driver distraction to comply with local and state laws.  This service provides accurate and timely traffic and weather information, when you need it and where you need it.  You don’t need look for traffic and weather information.

You may subscribe to other alert and information services such Weather, Sports, News, Ski, Surf and Community alerts as they become available at www.globalalertnetwork.com .

Good app but runs in background and drains your battery.  Can't turn alerts off.

This would be a useful app to have if you could turn it on when you're driving and need traffic alerts, and turn it off when you don't. But you can't. Once installed, it runs in the background 24 hours a day, pushing traffic alerts to your phone day and night. It constantly covers your screen with pop-up windows when you're trying to do something else and reduces battery life to about 3 hours. Basically, it makes the phone unusable for any purpose other than receiving traffic alerts.
