So How do anyone like the new GUI? Any comments?

[QUOTE=afoongwl215;5538585]Hi everyone,

I have developed a bus arrival time widget for windows mobile as i cant seem to find any on the marketplace/web.

You can download it at nichola.110mb.com/wm/

Please help to test it out and report any bugs. [QUOTE]


Hi afoongwl215,

I **** this project, and it is very useful.

Just one suggestion: can we select the bookmark from the screen instead of click menu>bookmark. The "BookmarK" can be side by side with "Go".

that can be done. what do anyone think of a virtual numb pad to key in stop no?

This is good, thanks. Actual it is a pain for me to use HTC keyboard to enter the bus stop#.

I discovered something strange. When I check the bus stop no. 12099 (bus stop opposite SIM) it actually shows smrt buses too and their timings. I thought smrt didn't have this service?

So far this is the only bus stop (that i know of) that shows smrt buses and their timings too, wonder if it's a bug?

You might want to look into it. Meanwhile, this program rocks! I use it daily now


ps, i get [object error] everytime i start up the widget, it still works but the error is annoying

currently the database that the application is using has SMRT buses for some stops. Their arrival information is derived from the public transport@sg site. Not all stops are supported only (100) i think.

regarding the [object error] popup, another user is also getting it. however, most of the other user do not have this problem.

Can you try somthing. go to menu -> about. click on reset setting. click ok. totally exit the application and start it.

this is what you should see.
1) a popup asking if you want to enable auto update. take note of the current time and post back with your operator name and time which the popup appear.

thanks.

a very useful app. now I know whether to run or craawl to the bus stop!

the bus stop at clementi has smrt timings too.

was just wondering if there is a better way to locate arrival information of a bus stop that I'm going towards but I do not know the bus stop number?

n maybe also the possibility to show train timngs?although the information is available at the train station, personally,I that such information is most useful when we are gong towards the station.

perhaps I'm greedy. haha. but really appreciate your great work n I'm already looking forward to your next innovation!

a very big thank you.

Thanks for the update to v1.2. I found out that the bus stop number has to be obtained from iris website. Is there an easier way to find out the 5 digits bus stop number?

When using v1.1 last Friday, I didn't know about the 5 digit bus number and I just type in the number on top of the bus stop, e.g. B04 and I got error message. I thought your app wasn't working.

Hi Zard, Bus stop number can be found on the singpost next to the busstop. it is also available on the board with all the bus information.

Hi dongster, as this is a widget, i am unable to have access to GPS and stuff. therefore i cant use the Google map API to get bus stop number.

I am not sure if the train arrival information can be retrieved online. if it can be i should be able to integrate it into my application.

Thanks for that. That's the problem of driving.
