Traffic Maps - Old versus new

On the left is the traffic map ("service") I used to attempt to use from boston.com. On the right is the new traffic feature of Google Maps.

The simplicity (and the ability to bookmark a unique URL for my commute) of Google wins out over the information overloaded, needlessly convoluted, ridiculously cluttered and generally hard to use (four drop-down menus? a bazillion check boxes? weird map crosshairs?  The collision of all of these at the top-right of the map is a nice little touch...) "Maptuit" map.
