It offers directions, travel times, and alternate routes across Florida’s interstates, toll roads, and major roadways. Users gain access to live updates on crashes, congestion, construction, and closures, enabling better trip planning. With safety at its core, the app provides audio announcements about traffic incidents, school zones, pedestrians, emergency vehicles, and traffic lights, minimizing distractions while driving. Designed to be used before trips start, Florida 511 helps travelers Connect, Know, and Go smarter throughout the state. Note: The app requires GPS functionality for full features and discourages use while driving to promote road safety. ## Rankings - #162,287 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADVERTISE` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.HIGH_SAMPLING_RATE_SENSORS` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO` - `android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `androidx.car.app.ACCESS_SURFACE` - `androidx.car.app.NAVIGATION_TEMPLATES` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES` - `com.greenowl.fdot.android.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.greenowl.fdot.android.permission.C2D_MESSAGE` ## Review summary Users generally find Florida 511 easy to use and informative about Florida road conditions, and it can aid route planning and hurricane-related travel. However, multiple reviews cite serious downsides: data inaccuracy and outdated delays, stability problems and crashes on certain devices, a cluttered/upgraded UI that loses saved routes, removal or absence of in-app live camera feeds, and privacy concerns from mandatory location sharing and alerts. These recurring issues suggest core strengths in road knowledge but notable reliability and feature gaps after updates. ### Pros - Easy to use - Provides solid road/traffic information and road knowledge - Helpful for planning routes and navigating around construction and emergencies - Useful for Florida-specific road conditions and travel planning ### Cons - Inaccurate or outdated traffic data (e.g., delays shown but not reflected) - Stability and reliability issues including crashes on some devices - Significant UI changes over updates leading to clutter and loss of saved routes - Missing or removed live traffic camera feeds in-app (must use website) - Privacy concerns due to mandatory location sharing and constant notifications ## Similar extensions and apps - [Iowa 511](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.transcore.android.iowadot) — 384,116 users, 3.90 / 5 - [Louisiana 511](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ibigroup.mobile.ta511la.android) — 45,300 users, 4.27 / 5 - [511 Arizona](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ibigroup.mobile.adot.ta511az.android) — 165,473 users, 3.09 / 5 - [Mass511](https://chrome-stats.com/d/crc.oneapp.ma) — 10,504 users, 3.55 / 5 - [511 Mobility](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.etch.mobility511) — 158 users - [511 Alberta](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ibigroup.mobile.ta511ab.android) — 99,617 users, 2.14 / 5 - [511 Georgia](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.meridian.metgdot) — 153,688 users, 2.71 / 5 - [Florida Roads & Cameras](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kovanapps.floridalivecameras) — 156 users - [511 Alaska](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ibigroup.mobile.ta511ak.android) — 14,600 users, 3.93 / 5 - [Idaho 511](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ibigroup.mobile.ta511id.android) — 69,208 users, 2.86 / 5 - [Ontario 511](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ibigroup.mobile.ta511on.android) — 187,109 users - [Minnesota 511 Trucker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/crc.carsapp.mntruckers) — 9,407 users, 3.86 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.greenowl.fdot.android)
