Info/description:

Description:
BusGuide is a Windows Mobile application to get the bus arrival timing of SBS busses at different bus stops in Singapore.

Search for Bus Stops along any road and bookmark a particular one for quick retrieval of the timing of your next bus.

Use the nearby function to get the list of bus stops near your current location. Works even for phones w/o a GPS.

Google maps made some changes, to the pages returned by the "local search" APIs. The pages returned no longer display the busstop ID which busGuide uses to query for the bus timing. As there are currently no native google maps API for windows mobile, the nearby function will remain broken for now. busGuide will display position of nearby stops but selecting any of them to get timing will cause app to crash. Any ideas or suggestions on how to get around this are most welcomed.

Installation:
Copy the cab file to your device and double click it to install.

Note:
Backup the favourite.xml first if you have a previous installation as this contains your saved favourite list.

Features:
- Query Function.
- Search Function.
- Info Function.
- Nearby Function.
- Favourite Function.
