Advertisement on i-MetrO

Partly because of the recent troubles we had with our free hosting service for i-MetrO, we have decided to insert Google ads in the service. The idea is that, if the ads pay enough money, we may be able to afford a better host.

Don't hesitate to provide your feedback on this matter...

Köln/Bonn

Some changes appear to have occured in Köln/Bonn (Germany), for example, one of the airport shuttle buses does not run anymore, apparently. I have updated what I could detect (including line colors) but the file will need probably some thorough checking.

Montpellier

With data provided by K. de Bondt and some research of my own, I have updated the Montpellier (France) database which is getting a bit old... I'm not sure it is absolutely up to date yet but at least it is better than before and it now contains operating time information.

Angers

G. Le Lann reported a small error (with possible extended effects) in the Angers (France) database.

Den Haag

K. de Bondt reported some mistakes (on connections) in the Den Haag (Netherlands) database.

i-MetrO

I still don't know the reason but i-MetrO is broken again for some cities. I investigate the matter, as well as the guys from the hosting service (which is free, let's not forget that) but I have no idea when this will be solved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

One positive note though: I found out a mistake that prevented to use the service for Freiburg in Breisgau. I fixed it and it's one of the cities that work all right ;-)

[Edit] The service is running again this Tuesday morning (CET). Enjoy!

Paris (works)

This is the first update for the "temporary" Paris databases, taking into account the works in the subway. Due to the RATP planning, these files will be valid only until next Friday (April 29th).

The files are at the same address as the previous versions:

• Paris-travaux, containing the complete rail network
• Paris-full-travaux, containing the inner city subway, bus and RER networks (not usable on a Palm device)

Bruxelles & Gent

L. Debacker reported one small error in the Bruxelles file and suggested one stop name change (to match what appears on signs) in Gent (both cities in Belgium, of course).

Amsterdam

I have updated one tram line in the Amsterdam (Netherlands) database. I just hope it's the only one that has changed its route...

Cottbus

T. Friedrich sent the tram lines for the city of Cottbus (Germany). Maybe we will have the complete file (with bus lines) for the next version...

Brest

I added regional bus lines in the Brest (France) database, with information provided by M. Pouliquen.

Translation for MetrO on PalmOS

The new confirmation dialog has been translated in dutch by S. Guyt.

Still 26 languages to go...

Bugs on MetrO for PalmOS

J. Hollman found a bug on the interface with the address book: when specifying only part of a stop name with a time, the program would not recognize the stop and ignore it. This will be fixed in the next release.

Payalba (member of the PalmAttitude forum) found two problems on palmOne devices:

• Tapping on a button that has the focus ring (on a Treo 600/650 or a TungstenT5) and moving the stylus out will not release the focus from the button. It looks like palmOne has broken compatibility with older versions of the OS: I can't fix this issue without losing compatibility with versions older than 3.5.
• There are display errors if you play with the DIA hide/display commands in left-handed landscape mode. I have solved part of the problem but I still have to work on it.

The "history" (list of previously used stop names) will be displayed only if it is not empty. I decided to add this test because I was puzzled to see a blank screen after 2 taps on the "stop" button.

Zwickau

C. Laufs sent data for the city of Zwickau (Germany). It is not yet complete but I hope we'll finish it for the next release.
