Métro
Installation
The city databases from versions older than 4.2.0 cannot be used with this release. It is recommended that you delete any version of Métro older than 4.2.0 before installing this one ("Memory" icon on your Pilot, then "Delete" button on PalmOS 2.0 or option "Delete" in system menu "App" on PalmOS 3.0).
Download |
You first have to download the package containing the program and the city files: see home page.
Compatibility |
Métro
is compatible with all PDAs running PalmOS 2.0 or greater (devices
from Palm/PalmOne, Handspring, Handera, Sony, ...). The software is not
compatible with the original Pilot 1000 & Pilot 5000.
Métro
is optimized for devices running PalmOS 5.x (almost all recent models) and
offers a much faster engine on these PDAs (all calculations are nearly
instantaneous). It is also optimized for high resolution screens on recent
PalmOne and Sony devices: it makes full use of the 320x320 or 320x480
resolutions those machines offer, with the exception of the 480x320 landscape
mode.
Note: for 320x480 mode on the PalmOne Tungsten T3, additional files are
required (see home page).
Unzip |
You should now extract fhe files from the package to your desktop computer. You can use one of the many tools available: WinZip for Windows or StuffIt Expander for Macintosh (strongly recommended, other tools may corrupt the files).
