Metro is a free worldwide public transport guide that always sits on your PDA (Palm, PocketPC, Smart phone, symbian phones like Nokia N Series). It is a small database application that allows you to download different cities metro information. And it is totally searchable.
I have never seen a free mobile app with such a wide range of device support. This thing is available in almost EVERY language and for almost EVERY platform. Metro gets loaded up on almost any Palm, Windows Mobile or Symbian operating system (Now with iPhone support here).
Once you download the correct version for you device copy over any data files you think you will need. On first launch the application asks you to choose your database.
You are now ready to search. You can find how to get from one stop to another, major landmarks to stops or other landmarks, shortest distance, least transfers etc… In other words this program is a life saver. When I was in Paris it was awesome. I couldn’t pronounce a lot of the street names let alone speak the language to have someone help me out - so I whipped out my larger then life 2003 HP Ipaq and was finding my way around in no time.
Additional features include:
- Directions and information to major tourist attractions (in selected cities)
- Download and take only the cities you need.
- Easy station search.
