Strasbourg

Frank has geocoded the entire bus network of Strasbourg (France) and, as usual, we fixed a few errors and adjusted the routes for the new 2010-2011 services.

As a reminder of the consequence of this "geocoding", it means that users of MetrO for the iPhone can now find a route from/to their current position or a street address (in this case, prefix the address with an '@' in the starting point or destination field, until we design a more user-friendly interface). And the database will also extend the coverage in our Layar layer for iPhones and Android smartphones.

With the new 2010-2011 schedules released by the SETRAM, P. Le Clezio sent an update to our database for Le Mans (France).
