♦ OVERVIEW
The “New York Subway” application is a superb geographically based map and route planner for the New York public transport systems. It also contains a superb animated journey planner to help you get around the Subway, Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad, New Jersey Transit and a number of ferry services provided by NY Waterway and New York Water Taxi. This application is one in a worldwide series of Zuti maps from Visual IT who have been producing public transportation maps for mobile devices for many years.

♦ MAP
The map is hand drawn by Visual IT and provides a unique geographically based view of the city with many places of interest drawn directly on the background so you can easily get your bearings when travelling in and around the city. You can also use your inbuilt GPS (can also work with iPod Touch devices) to accurately locate and track yourself within the city centre and see the nearest transportation stop and distance to it. This is the only public transportation route planner with this ability.

Tap on the map for location information, use the inbuilt search feature or choose from a list of locations. Places of interest, museums, hotels, parks, restaurant, shops, hospitals, streets, etc, are also included. The route planner will automatically suggest the nearest station to any place of interest you select.

♦ NO INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED
The map and routing does not require an internet connection and you will not be charged data connection fees. This also means the application runs successfully underground and on an iPod Touch. The only feature that requires an internet data connection is the “Live Info” which is optional and if used only requires a small amount of data.

♦ ROUTING
Does not require an internet connection and will always be available to display a clear and detailed view of the city transport systems, plus list and animate the optimum route for your journey. Provides the fastest route calculations of any mobile routing application (virtually instantaneous) using actual published journey times with the ability to select the quickest route or the route with the least changes.

Comprehensive details of your planned route are provided, including changes, directions of travel, number of stops, predicted journey times, etc. Uniquely this application gives you “direction”, “towards” and “service frequency” information (not available on any other offline journey planner) for example “Take the Red line (Southbound) towards 95th/Dan Ryan for 6 stops. Service runs every 7 minutes” which is essential when finding the correct platform and connection. Also given are alternatives for each leg of the journey.
