Description

A routing app that runs on iOS devices for London's TfL tube and rail network. Pathfinding is performed on device and will return multiple routes that meet a given filter, such as number of changes, route convenience, fare cost, line status, travelcard balance and time planning. These routes will then be shown on the Tube Map which will dynamically change based on the appropriate routes. Walking directions will be shown on a geographical map. Pathfinding can take stations, street addresses and Points of Interests, as well as favourite locations which the user can set to start a route to from their current location. Travelcard journey history and balance information will be available to the user via their Oyster account and current and future line status will also be viewable.

Purpose

This is to version control my A Level project and show evidence of working on my project.
