Another nice thing with running GVM is that it's easy to get the updated timetable data (updated once a month), by running a 'wget' command on the tablet itself. Say that you have a directory somewhere (on the tablet or a card) where you keep your pdb files. cd there and run 'wget -N http://www.lhtimetable.com/GWlhEN.pdb' (obviously you need wget installed). The command will (when re-run) only download a newer version if there is a newer version. The time of the file (ls -l GWlhEN.pdb) will reflect the actual update time of the file, not the download time (due to the -N option).

You can also check the time (without downloading) with 'curl -I http://www.lhtimetable.com/GWlhEN.pdb'
(which I did just now and I see there's a new version from 01 July there, which is newer than the one I used for my screenshot)

Finally, the direct link to the application is http://www.lhtimetable.com/LufthansaEN4.prc, get it with wget (or wget -N, or check its time with curl -I. Last updated 06 Oct 2003 when I just checked now).

No browser or PC needed
