if you go onto the london transport web site

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/

and use their journey planner facility

http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en

it will give you a detailed route to get from one place to another using a variety of methods and you can print maps to help you as well if walking is one of the components.

I don’t know if you ever used a subway before but if you try to go from one place to another it involves a lot of map checking to make sure you are going the right direction and to figure out where to get off and what subway to take next so you could get to your final stop. This software simplifies the process.

if you need software to figure out the tube system in london, new york, or paris, you shouldn’t be travelin in the first place..

the underground system and trails are as complex as 3rd grade mathematics.. i mean, the lines are even all colored in too!

this is a perfect example of unnecessary software that overcomplicates common sense.

The softwares above dont use GPS but if you do have GPS i am sure there are more interactive options available.

Planning on travelling to Toronto and was looking for something similar.

What about Nokia N95? Would that be as effective?, especially with it’s built-in GPS?
