Where was this application when I visited NYC? :cry:

We had a tough time figuring out the subway system and finding the closest station and the best route. I am sure this FREE application would have helped a lot.

You can download via the Orange World site a Transport for London Tube map, which also has a journey planner. This is a JAVA application and it works quite well I think.

Transport for London also has a mobile version of its Journey Planner (http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en) I use it loads to find buses and the like..!

Hasn't it been around for sometime? I recall using it on the MPx200 last year!

Looks good, and a great price of course.

Funny thing: I can get the Melbourne database (and Perth), but not Sydney (or Brisbane). Their info pages list Sydney and Brisbane as well. Does anyone else find trouble with specific cities?

Living between Melb &amp; Syd makes them more useful to me than Paris, strange to say.

Not sure about that. It just appeared on our affiliate store. It may be a newer version. :?

I know the Pocket PC version has been around for years. I had it installed on my iPaq 3670.
