Berlin

Following a mail by S. Baumgart, I have checked and improved (hopefully) the express bus lines (X lines) in Berlin (Germany).

Brimingham

I have tried to improve the Birmingham (UK) database, adding icons and colors, adjusting trip times... Maybe it will still require some verification.

Paris ("full" version)

The "full" version of the Paris (France) database contains the subway and bus systems and I'm convinced a number of connections are missing between these. Fabrice reported one such case (at "Jules Joffrin") but don't hesitate to send us a mail if you can find other similar cases.

Translations (for PalmOS version)

The new confirmation dialog I recently added in the PalmOS version of MetrO has already been translated in many languages. However, some are still missing: Arabic, Basque, Catalan, Chinese (Big5), Corsican, Croatian, Czech, Filipino, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Malay, Polish, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, Thai, Vietnamese. If you want to help, the string to translate is "The file for "city name" already exists on card, do you want to replace it?"

In some cases, there are other strings which are not translated. If you find some in your language, do not hesitate to send me a note, I will be pleased to complete the work.

MetrO for PalmOS translations

I added new versions of MetrO for PalmOS in Bulgarian (almost complete), Macedonian and Serbian (some strings are still missing). I have successfully tested the former with CyrHack but I could not test the latter; I think they should work all right with PiLoc (from Paragon software).

To stay in sync with the PocketPC version, I also wanted to add the Georgian version but although there is a CyrHack extension for this language, I have no idea of the character encoding I should use (and it's probably not Unicode, so that I will have trouble converting the text). Therefore, for the time being this version will be kept on hold.

Chartres

G. Le Lann sent the data to build a file for the bus network in Chartres (France).

I hate PalmGear

PalmGear (the well known Palm software distribution site) has recently announced that they will take over the software section on the palmOne web site (as soon as next month).

One problem is that these bright guys have come up with an extraordinarily complex process to submit software for the palmOne site (I'm still wondering what went through their mind). But when I finally tried to go through the process, I discovered that it does not work... For a company that takes 50% on the sales, I'm wondering what the commercial software vendors will say...

The consequence is that I'm afraid that MetrO will disappear entirely from the palmOne web site. That's a pity but at least that won't change our account balance!

Luxembourg

S. Labastille sent the complete (or almost) data to build a database for the bus network in Luxembourg.

Milano

On a recommendation from Maurizio, I have added the previously missing line 73 (useful to reach the Linate airport) in the Milano (Italy) database. I also added the airports in the places of interest.

Berlin

On the Berlin (Germany) database, the works at PapestraĂźe are finished and the new "M" lines need some cleaning up (some stops have the same names as subway or rail stations but are completely different). Thanks to M. Ciesielski!

Belo Horizonte & New York

K. WagenfĂĽhr has reported an extension on the line in the Belo Horizonte (Brazil) database. I also enhanced it a bit (with icon, colors, times...).

He also suggested a new place of interest for the New York (USA) file: the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Paris (works)

I have updated the Paris files again (see the links below). The next change is planned around May 13th.
