“Metro guide featuring over 300 cities worldwide”

Mobile phone users are often on the move and this explains the large number of applications geared towards helping travellers wherever they go. One of the most successful travel programs available for handheld computers is this free guide to the subway systems in over 300 cities worldwide.

Métro has a very basic interface which can be a little tricky to read if you haven’t read the user guide. Once used to the controls, though, the average user will have no further trouble with this program. Use it to plan journeys, guide you between subway and railway stations, or to help you find places of interest such as museums in the city.

With frequent updates meaning you don’t need to worry about out-of-date information, Métro provides an impressive degree of information for a small application.

From the publisher of Metro

An excellent Métro guide developed in 10 languages featuring over 300 cities from all over the world that will help you map your journey and the metro lines you must take to arrive at your destination.

It is presented with a very intuitive and extreme simple interface where you mark your starting position and your destination. The application will then automatically indicate the line, change-overs, the length of time needed and the stations you will pass through.

One of the problems you will experience with this type of software is that you never seem to find your city in its the database, but with Métro and the 300 featured cities we're not so sure you're going to have this problem!
