● OVERVIEW ● The Rome Metro - Map and route planner from Zuti makes it easy to travel in and around Rome using the Metro, Tram and Urban rail networks. The application contains a detailed and colourful street map and route planner with many unique features. The map provides a clear view of the city transport services with the ability to show or hide the transport services and stops. The map and route planner are stored entirely on the device and are available anywhere and at any time, there is no need for an internet connection.
● TRAVEL EXPLORER ● The unique travel explorer feature provides a view of travel times using transport from any location on the map. This is helpful for getting a sense of scale and connectivity of the transport system and can provide some interesting results. For example is it quicker to use the metro and tram to travel from Colosseo to Venezia or is it quicker on foot? (Hint, the quickest route will keep you fitter). No other application makes it so easy to get around on the transport systems and allow you to make travel decisions based on the actual distances involved.
● ROUTING ● Does not require an internet connection and will always be available to display a clear and detailed view of the city transport system, plus list and display on the map the optimum route for your journey. Provides the fastest route calculations of any mobile routing application (virtually instantaneous) using actual published journey times with the ability to select the quickest route or the route with the least changes. Comprehensive details of your planned route are provided, including “direction”, “towards” and “service frequency” information (not available on any other offline journey planner) for example “Take the Metro B (Northbound) towards Rebibbia for 4 mins (2 stops). Service runs every 10 minutes” which is essential when finding the correct platform and direction. Also given are alternatives (if available) for each leg of the journey.
● ANNOTATING THE MAP ● You can now add places of interest, routes and areas to the map. This is a very simple yet powerful feature that allows the user to easily customise their map. This feature will also display the complete distance for a route. These annotations are stored on the device and can be shown or hidden as a group or individually.
● NO INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED ● The map and routing do not require an internet connection and you will not be charged data connection fees. This also means the application runs perfectly underground or on an aeroplane, etc. For international visitors to a city who have data roaming turned off this is an ideal solution.
● MORE MAPS ● This map is one in a series of Zuti worldwide city maps, if you like this product you may also enjoy some of our other offerings, please visit www.zuti.co.uk for further information.
Latest reviews of Rome Metro & Tram by Zuti app for iPhone and iPad
it was exactly what i wanted
Ive used this app every day while on vacation in Rome in Dec 2013, and I want to share with others how awesome it is, because I have found it so useful: 1) It tells you the quickest way between 2 stations, and tells you the route you should take and how long it will take. 2) It includes maps of the subway, tram lines, and rail lines. Some of the tram info is a bit outdated (developers, take note!!!) It would be perfect if bus lines were included as well, or at least a listing of all buses and where they stop (developers, also take note!!!). 3) My favorite feature: it includes a GPS, and will track where you are on your route, which is so useful on trams, because the stops are not announced! 4) Also the GPS feature will tell you the tram/Metro station nearest to where you are, in case you are lost in Rome. I would highly recommend downloading this app if you are planning on staying in Rome for more than a few days. Its been so helpful, I wish this was available for other cities!
