Thanks.

I have to assume that it does not show because "google" does not want "the api" to show it or it is not available in the API version I used.

The google maps api is not the same that google uses on their web site. I have noticed differences even in the directions you get but it still the best one I found so far.

All that I can say is that works for me (USA). I will have to investigate further... If you find any app/web site that uses the google maps api and can show traffic information let me know and I will try to figure out what is different. Most likely android apps will not help because there seems to be a special version for them as well.
