MetrO for PalmOS

I have spent some time these last days on trying to improve and enhance our Palm version of MetrO.

First, the line routes will now show when an end stop is one-way only, to avoid possible confusion:

Second and more important, a new "Filtered stop list" option will now let you choose to filter the stop list when you type text in the "start" or "arrival" field, showing only stops whose name contains the entered text:

As I always suspected, the performance is not extremely fast but I think it is usable, at least on devices running PalmOS 5.x.
It has been a much requested feature over the years and I hope you'll like it.

The MetrO blog is back!

After an alert yesterday, when our blog was arbitrarily locked, the situation seems to be back to normal today.

I am still angry at how this was handled by the Blogger/Google team: I just got a mail yesterday telling me the blog was considered a spam blog by their (automated) tools and I have not got any further explanation about it being unlocked now...
