Previously, the NYCMate application updated New Yorkers with all necessary details, from neighborhood maps to the official subway maps with precise train timings. Now the application gets updated with a new 2.0 version for the iPhone and iPod touch devices. Crafted by Densebrain and episode6, the upgrade enables tourists to roam in New York City without any fear of getting lost and drops to correct destinations.
With an instant one tap technology, users can easily reach out any location via buses or trains effortlessly. The updated version works on some exciting new functionalities like GPS locator, routing and service alerts. Further it is also loaded with a customizable tab bar, street map views and the capability to store bookmark destinations for utilizing it later.
“NYC residents and visitors now have a free and easily navigated transit tool at their fingertips to help organize travel and minimize travel time and confusion. New Yorkers are busy enough. Our goal is to make public information free and taking the mystery out of commuting,” commentedJonathan Glanz, Principal and Founder of Densebrain.
“NYCMate was designed to be simple and easily navigated. The many maps allow users access to the info they need without overwhelming them with extras,” explained Danika Landers, Densebrain Partner and Creative Director.
The application is claimed to be the first 100% free multi-platform mobile NYC Transit Map Application where users can seamlessly view officially licensed MTA New York City Bus, Subway and Neighborhood maps. Alongside it also displays offline Long Island Railroad and Metro North schedules right on their handy devices. In the near future, an updated version is said to be coming on the Android platform as well.
The updated version of NYC Mate application can be downloaded for free through iTunes.
