We’re proud to announce the launch of our third iPhone app – the Explore Guangzhou Metro map. We took all the best features from our Shanghai and Beijing – like route planning, offline access, bilingual data, and free updates and built what we think is the best Guangzhou Metro app for iPhone and iPod touch.
The app is fully up to date with the latest information, including the new Line 5 which opened in January. Line 5 is the longest line, with 26 stations stretching from Wenchong to Jiaokou.
Explore Guangzhou is available on the iTunes App Store today priced at just $0.99. Want to try it out for free? Follow us on Twitter or become our fan onFacebook where we’ll be handing out some free promo codes!
Read on for some sample screenshots:
We’ve just launched updates to ExploreShanghai and ExploreGuangzhou, the best online metro maps for the Shanghai Metro and Guangzhou Metro.
In Shanghai, Line 11 and Line 9 phase 2 will open on Thursday but you can start exploring the new site now! Every new station has a Metropedia entry with a location map, photos and journey details, for example Xiaonanmen. We’ve also updated our popular PDF maps with new versions in English and Chinese.
In Guangzhou, Line 5 opened on 28 December, as well as an additional station at Chebeinan on Line 4. You can view the new map, and start planning routes at ExploreGuangzhou.
There may be a few glitches initially, for example we currently don’t have price information for journeys including the new lines. If you have any feedback, do contact us!
An update for our ExploreShanghai iPhone app should be available in the next couple of weeks, once the update is approved by Apple.
You wait ages for a iPhone metro map, then three come along at once 🙂 Building on the success of our ExploreShanghai Shanghai metro iPhone app (still available at the introductory price of just $0.99!) we’re working on not one but three new iPhone apps: ExploreBeijing, ExploreGuangzhou and ExploreHK.
Stay tuned for further announcements, but until then here’s a screenshot to whet your appetite (click to enlarge)!
