tmap-1.2 Last Update: 03/02/97

TMap 1.2 - This is a new version of the TMap Newton App that I created because the Fodor's Guide for the Newton does not contain a map of the Boston Subway system (known as the "T"). This app fixes that oversight. The new feature in this version (1.1) is the ability to "FIND" T stops via the normal Newton Find button. The searched for station is highlighted with a circle until you move the display again. I also fixed a map bug -- Chinatown was mislabelled Prudential. You can "grab" the map with your pen and drag it around. To scroll the map left or right, use the large buttons provided; to scroll up and down, use the standard Newton up and down buttons. The center button brings up the little About... box. You can also find T stations with the Find button.
