I was using a train from the Erzgebirgsbahn in Germany yesterday
(Annaberg-Buchholz - Chemnitz) when I noticed the information display.
This was an OSM background on which the trains from the Erzgebirgsbahn
were overlayed. I took a few photos but I now also see that they have an
internet version of it on <http://www.vms.de/egb/index.html>. The
version in the train had as default view the train you were sitting in
and that trains timetable was shown on the left (just as a train that
you click on wil show its timetable on the right).
And as a bonus: it's Openstreetmap so it also allows you to see a map
of the surroundings before you disembark the train.
The only thing missing from the trainversion (which I now see on the
internetversion) is the possibility to see a departuretable when you
click on a station.
I don't see it on the internetversion, but the trainversion had a logo
from Funkwerk <http://www.funkwerk.com/funkwerk_de/> on it. I assume
they developed it.
Really really cool feature. I spent a lot of time playing with it.
Regards,
Maarten
