Tube for Windows Mobile released (both smartphone and Pocket PC) October 27, 2005 [General] | By Edward J. R. If you are living or traveling in London, UK, and you need to get quickly from station A to station B (what often requires switching lines) then this program will calculate the route for you automatically! It even happened to us that while traveling in a London tube somebody asked us "how long yet till Liverpool station?" and the answer was "Windows Mobile to the rescue! hold on, lemme look, it's 14 minutes!". With paper maps such time evaluations and route calculations would require much more time... The version for Smartphone now supports QVGA resolution (320x240 pixels - standard in all contemporary Microsoft smartphones): 
... and generally Tube 2 adds new features: Tube 2 is the new enhanced interface to our award winning and highly acclaimed application that guides you around the subway & metro systems of the major cities in the world. An essential addition to any Windows Powered Smartphone. Transform your Microsoft Windows Powered Smartphone into a fully scrollable detailed map of the transport system of the city and see your journeys come alive with a superb animated display of the route tracking around the system map. Save hours by automatically having the quickest routes to hand, with all the details you need including line changes, platform directions and accurate journey times. No more confusion on your trips, route details include, direction of travel, end of line, towards information, and number of stops in each segment. Select advanced journey options such as quickest journey, fewest stops, avoid lines and quickly display return journey details. To get Tube 2 for MS Smartphone click here and for Pocket PC here. It's nice to see the major upgrade to this useful program however support for GPS receiver and square screens (240x240) would be useful too. Please note that Tube 2 is available not only for London but also for some small number of other cities too... just go check it out!
