MetroFinder for your mobile!
Due to my new house location near at a Metro Station, I am using the public transportation a lot more than I used to. And because I am (as always) a little bit into my (own very special) world, I tend to miss bus stops, metro stops etc. And of course due to my very short memory that refuses to hold any non-critical information, I don’t remember (or at least I don’t make any effort) where should I change lines, how long it takes to get there and all these little (non-critical :P) stuff.
So, as I always do, I found a reason for a new little program!
Behold, the MetroFinder (clap clap clap)!
Metrofinder is a J2ME little program that I took extra special care to make it possible to run on EVERY possible phone (ranging from very old phones to new ones). It’s very simple (and very crude) but for my purposes it’s fine (and it’s opensource so you can modify it to your needs). I plan to port it to Lisp (just ‘cause it’s cool :P) but for the time being it covers all my needs (at least my transportational needs!). The big thing that is missing is time estimation based on time and date but it works perfectly and without it (and don’t forget I’ve made it this in less than 8 hours… - you can check the plan file / check previous post).
Check some screens here (running from the emulator), check it on git and download it on your mobile.
Enjoy
PS : It’s in Greek and only for Greece but is trivial to make a translation.
