Just added a quick enter TTID section since the list is already handy, no progress indicator though or saving yet though.. Have to actually spend some time focusing on my day job

It is the tramTRACKER logo that is used on all the signage and ads and wot not. I did it when tramTRACKER launched. But we don't do work for Yarra Trams any more.
The typeface is Blackthink. |

About a year ago I compiled a list of the latitude/longitude of all tram stops and train stations in Melbourne, for Metro (metro.nanika.net). I've still got the kml file around somewhere. Someone would have to add the tramTRACKER codes onto the stops for it to integrate with Leslie's application.
PM me if you are interested. |

I actually have a similar mostly-complete list (I've done all of the train stops + lines, and a good chunk of the tram routes) for use with google maps, just have to finish the last 5-6 tram routes.
Have a demo up at http://transport.odynia.org/maps/ - as you can see I had planned on doing a fair bit with it, but time keeps running away from me...

The worst thing about tram tracker is that the numbers are stuck on as stickers at tram stops, and some moron's think it's a great idea to rip them off. Shiznatz' app basicallyl means stops don't need stickers any more (unless you're to drunk to realise where you are, lol).

3) How is a free service a money scam? How is a service not even run by the company (a 3rd party made it), a scam?

I've updated Tram Tracker's UI and restored the recent search function. Tested on iPhone, iPod Touch, Nokia N95, Nokia 6120, and Nokia 6650.
Cheers,
Leslie

^Hey Leslie, any chance of a version that runs on a Jasjam? Not that it will matter after next Friday as they're switching to the iphone as soon as they can get one.

I would think a cityrail version of this would be easy.
Something like:
Your train will arrive at 7.30*
*we won't tell you which 7.30 we mean nor which day or year.
