33 North American cities
As soon as Apple approves “3.1″ applications for the iTunes App Store, Discover Anywhere Mobile will be releasing Discover Anywhere Transit. This app will provide detailed listings for rail, light rail, subway stops and airports across North America (and maybe more by launch date):
Transit information can be selected:
* by transit system
* by what’s near me right now
* by search
* by user favorites
The AR view in Discover Anywhere's app is just one of three, map and list views are also available for all data sets.
To the question: “Why users would need an AR view?”, President David Janes said:
“In my mind, AR is a feature rather than a product. It’s something that we think would be useful for our customers. For example, I was in Atlanta a few weeks ago and walked out of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) downtown. Even knowing that the MARTA existed would have been useful then – but when we got out it would be great to be able to orient yourself toward landmarks. It’s the ‘oh yeah, there it is’ experience.”
So, we could say that a new generation of landmarks has arrived to iPhone (OR will arrive..) because as it seems iPhone wont release the iPhone OS 3.1 version at least until next October… and keep waiting.
