Hi,  
does anyone know a way to obtain road traffic information and estimated arrival time from point to point (using car) without using google maps API? Perfect if available in Poland.  
Cheers!

Sounds like another "random question - non NR related" category candidate 😛

An observant passenger with a paper roadmap and calculator?

Not quite helpful.

What I'd like to get is time in minutes for travel from point A to B, preset, calculated for current traffic conditions. Hope this is orecise enough. Any idea?

I haven't looked in detail at what it provides, but possibly [OpenTransportMap](http://opentransportmap.info) might be suitable?

I suspect Google will have an API for that.

But did you try a google search?

[https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=traffic+api+poland](https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=traffic+api+poland)

At least one of those has a free tier.
