MetrO for BlackBerry 5.9.2

BlackBerryWe are pleased to announce the release of MetrO for BlackBerry 5.9.2, available now from our BlackBerry web page or on the BlackBerry App World.

This new version will (hopefully) make it easier to manage the internet connection required to download city databases (the only time when a connection is needed). After many complaints and requests for support about connection troubles (thanks to RIM's unnecessarily complex network configurations), I think I solved the issue for most users.

Please note that, for reasons I still can't understand, it may be necessary to reset your BlackBerry after installing the new version.
