This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 3,725 for Friday 11th of November 2022.
|
|
Today's show is entitled How to Use OS and Android with Public Transport.
|
|
It is hosted by Ken Fallon and is about two minutes long.
|
|
It carries a clean flag.
|
|
The summary is Ken shows you how to use this mapping tool to display transit routes in your area.
|
|
Hi everybody, my name is Ken Fallon and you're listening to another episode of Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
Today's another tip for OS and Android and it's how to use a public transport feature which I discovered recently.
|
|
It's kind of cool.
|
|
So if you open up your OS and Android and you go to a particular location for this example, I'm using double.
|
|
And normally it'll have the top writing corner that low icons set and that's just the general OS map browsing.
|
|
If you click on that, then you'll be able to configure map for some various different profiles.
|
|
One of the profiles that's available is the public transport one.
|
|
So you get a car, bike, walking and a public transport or a ferries.
|
|
So if you select the public transport one, it'll show you additional information.
|
|
And in the screenshots in the show notes, you'll be able to see that now there are a load of bus stops available to you.
|
|
So if you zoom in real quick on the Hapenny Bridge in Dublin, you'll see that there's a bus stop there listed.
|
|
And it gives the bus stop number 135100.
|
|
If you click on that, it'll list all the bus stops, all the public transport that stops at that particular location.
|
|
Plus other routes that are within 150 meters walking distance.
|
|
If you didn't click on any of them, for example, if I click on one, two, six, what it'll do is it zooms out and gives you the entire line in red.
|
|
With all they stops next to it.
|
|
And for example, this one says, this is the Dublin bus from Nice to Newbridge.
|
|
So that's it. That's all I wanted to do quick show and a handy little tool that's become invaluable since I discovered it.
|
|
Tune in tomorrow for another exciting episode of Hacker Public Radio.
