Do not miss more on the ground with Metro
I like when the PDA show everything that can be useful for everyday use. And Metro is a free program that does just that. This is a guide to public transport networks in over 300 cities around the world. This includes networks of subway and bus regularly. Besides the data is updated continuously. You can stay abreast of changes, among other methods, through his blog.
The interface is easy to use and very fast
The Metro team is doing a great job, as well as the great effort involved in maintaining the databases, the program has versions for PalmOS, PocketPC, MS_Smartphone, Symbian UIQ / SonyEricsson, Symbian S60/Nokia, Symbian S80/Nokia and Symbian S90/Nokia. As if that were not enough, so you can use online through this link. In addition, it is currently translated into 38 languages.
Then ready the main features of this program:
- Search stations assisted.
- List of stations for each line.
- History that keeps the last lines used.
- It has data from the hours of operation of each line
- List of places of interest (tourism, nightlife, etc) and detailed information about them.
- It allows off lines when there is work or strike.
- It uses colors to differentiate the lines.
- List of stations for our contacts (only need to enter information once).
- Separate files for each city. The only copy that we will need, saving space.
- Compatibility with external memory card.
- Tip of the fastest route, and that goes for less seasons.
You know, if you will have to live for a time in a big city, Metro is going to save you a lot of time and headaches. Remember to have it updated!
