Métro 
Installation


Attention! 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).

The included files are:
