iOS 8 Traffic Conditions Widget does not appear

Just got an iPhone 6, and also have an iPhone 5s with an upgraded OS (now at 8). When I pull down the Notifications Center, scroll to the bottom and then press "Edit", I see that there is a native "Traffic Conditions" fixed to the top of the Widgets section.

It is a great idea, but it never displays anything. I am assuming the Traffic Conditions come from Apple Maps, but the widget does not display any data regardless of any of these scenarios:

1. Apple Maps Closed

2. Apple Maps Open, but no route selected and not navigating

3. Apple Maps Open and route selected, but not navigating.

4. Apple Maps Open, route selected and navigating.

Does anyone know how, when or why the "Traffic Conditions" widget is used?

THANK YOU!

iPhone 6, iOS 8

Sorry if you already figured this out, I couldn't go through all of the posts. If you enable favorite locations in the system settings AND add "Today's Summary" widget you will eventually see those estimates. May take little time to process but without Today's Summary widget you won't see the estimates. Quite frankly I don't see much of use given it's flakiness and if I'm going there all the time I kinda know what to expect after some time. Would've been a good app to alert me of conditions that might be present but that's not what it does.

Subscribing for any future findings. I did have frequent locations turned of but have turned it back on for weeks. I have "Me" defined with home and work addresses. Frequent locations has picked up each over a dozen and a half times. Everything seems to be in place but it doesn't work. I have a 6, my friend has a 6 plus and it has worked from day one of IOS 9 for him.

I wrote an iPhone/iPad navigation app to avoid traffic and plan trips.

FastTrip, https://appsto.re/us/i20n9, gives me a quick clean glance at estimated travel times for my trip. It also lets me schedule daily reminders for my commute.

It is a FREE app, check it out in the App store
