now repackaged for PR1.2 and promoted. http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...avelapp/0.1-7/
Please test/vote by clicking the link above to promote this to extras.

The idea is to make a generic app that can display air/train/bus timings and routes between stations and a map viewer.

At the moment ive developed the app to display London Underground tube information/map and routing only since I live here :).

Im happy to develop it for other popular locations/services.
That being the case I will be needing assistance regaring the data interfaces( eg: sites that provide api's to get xml/html output of data) as I wont be well informed about other locations.

Ive tried to make it as user friendly as possible, but im open to suggestions to improve the interface as well.

I will update something on air travel in the UK as soon as I find someplace that provides api's to extract data from their websites. This is what Im working on at the moment for this app.

Ive used an API provided by www.tubeupdates.com to provide the data for London Tubes.

Main Highlights of the app
1. Provides status of the tube lines
2. Provides the route to be taken between any 2 tube stations
*EDIT* VIA option now avilable in version 0.1-2
3. Has a Map viewer with zoom.
4. Will add a button to open any custom map in the next update ( shortly ).

As always, feedback/comments/suggestions are most welcome.

cheers

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TRAVELAPP providing status/routing/map viewer

Just had another thought, instead of tapping the menu to see 'map' and 'route me', would it be possible for opening the map to show the map immediately, and along the bottom have menu buttons for 'line status' (tapping would take to the current 'home' screen), 'route me', and a fullscreen icon which would just show the map without the aforementioend buttons and of course top menu line, showing only the zoom and minimise screen buttons?

Also, it'd be really nice to have a 'send to...' feature, to email or SMS the route to a friend. There's been a couple of times i've had to explain a route to someone unfamiliar with London and it'd be easier for both of us if they could open a text message or email on their phone for directions

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TRAVELAPP providing status/routing/map viewer

seems like TFL data is available now via api's in xml format. Not sure of the licensing and whether I can use them in an app.
Im not able to access the api though, wonder if there is any info somewhere to get hold of the key if any needed. In case somebody has more info please do let me know, meanwhile I'll look around myself.

P.S : Rich, Ive noted down your suggestions will try doing some more updates along with your suggestions if indeed there are api's I can use in the app to get more data, like timings, bus routes etc. Thanks.
