Mobile Tube Map application

They totally ignored my emails for help, and suggestions that the dl didn't work.
I have no time for this kind of service, even if the app is free. Probably just harvesting emails and cell numbers!

Bet you can guess what they can do with their application :evil:

managed to get it to work, but it only works once! If you use it again, it gives an application error. If you turn the phone off and on again it will work, but only the once. Support on it is next to useless though, I would recommend keeping a nice gif file of the tube system in your images dir try my one attached

I dunno why everyone gets problems with this, I registered on thetube.com website they msg'ed me a download bookmark and I wapped it and got installed perfectly and it works a treat!! Although the only time I seem to use it is when I am on the tube, and its easiet to look up at one of the maps!! 😉

How on earth you mange to keep a 194kb image on your phone is beyond me. I had the exact same gif a while back.

It takes an age to open and even longer to zoom in to a level where you can read it! 😃

The map is old
Mornington Crescent re-opened about 2 years ago
(and is a fab game on Radio 4, but don't ask for the rules....)

Well I sent that website an email, since I couldn't download it either, and they haven't responded.

I think yr right, Chaos, they must be building up a database of people like us 😃

So I'll just have to use the tube map which is on all the walls!!

Lucky old Space is all I can say, most of the rest of us can but wait.

As for trying to get the phone numbers for a marketting exercise, if I get any junk SMS's before I get a working app, I will be writing to the Managing Director (or whoever is at the top) of London Underground and expressing my great displesure.

I give them a little more credit until I have reason not to.

It's a very-nearly good app. Too flakey, crashes/hangs up, needs to have the phone rebooted, and the travel news would be more useful if you could select by station/line.

Still a handy thing to have though..

I managed to download it (on T-Mobile) but it is very unstable. Plus you can only use it 25 times, and my first 5 efforts were used just getting it to work.

If stabalised would be an extremely useful app. to have.

wat r the tmobile wap settings? i cant connect 😞

Hi - I wrote the Mobile Tube Map & have been trialling it on www.thetube.com for a couple of months. There seems to be some confusion here - some people seem to be actually downloading a map? and an old version at that?! This is a Java application, and has Mornington Crescent restored to its fully functioning status. If you go through the download request process and the application fails to install itself, please drop me a line & I'll try & sort it out with the chaps at thetube.com. my email is [email protected] . The application is about 120K in total, and the map used internally is about 73K. It will require at least a couple of hundred K of free memory to run properly, so try culling some images or large message attachments if it doesn't get past the splash screen.
Thanks for trying it out.

Mark,

Nice to have another author pop by, you might like to register yourself with the boad as some people do get suspicious with info like this from a 'guest'post.

Anyway, I think the Tube Map Java Midlet is good first attempt, but there is a lot fo functionality and user interface probles - and the delivery system is, frankly, abomniable. Have a look at the AAS Review.

I would like to openly thank Mark for his help in finally getting the application for me after the weeks of waiting.

Top man 😃

As Ewan said the review was not very complementry, and the method of download is a little tiresome.

With more functionallity, e.g a route planner, the software would be top notch.

Bob 😃
