“Metro Guide Of Over 300 Cities Worldwide”

by Tom Clarke

Palm PDA users are often on the move and this explains the large number of applications geared towards helping travellers wherever they go. One of the most successful travel programs available for handheld computers is this free guide to the subway systems in over 300 cities worldwide.

Métro has a very basic interface which can be a little tricky to read if you haven’t taken a look at the user guide. Once used to the controls, though, the average user will have no further trouble with this program. Use it to plan journeys, guide you between subway and railway stations, or to help you find places of interest such as museums or government buildings.

For such a small application, it holds a surprising amount of details and with frequent updates, you don’t need to worry about out-of-date information.

From the publisher of Metro

Available in 10 different languages, Metro is an excellent guide that displays the metro routes of over 300 cities throughout the world - there's just no way you can get lost with this extremely handy utility on hand.

Presented with a very intuitive, easy-to-use interface, simply mark your starting point and destination. The application will then automatically point out the changes you have to make, the time and stations that you have to follow in order to arrive safe and sound, and in good time too.

One of the problems however that you can encounter with this kind of software is that you might not find your own city.

An incredible data base that provides the user with the easily accessible information about the city they're visiting or live in. What's more, it's absolutely free too!
