Hi Raul and Others, Catching up on list reading. HopStop is now pretty widely available for public transport in cities in the U.S. and Canada, as well as internationally. This means that if you're comfortable with the user interface, you can use this as a familiar app when you travel to other locations. I'll also mention that HopStop can be used along with another of my favorite apps for POIs, Where To? by Futuretap. When you have searched for a point of interest and selected it, for example, a bakery, double tap the "Navigate" button (2nd of 5 at the bottom of the "Details" screen for your selection. Then, if HopStop is one of the apps on your device, it will appear in the list of apps on the "Routing Apps" screen. Flick right until you hear "HopStop", then flick right to the "Route" button and double tap. HopStop will launch with your selected POI as the destination and your current location as the starting point. If you want to adjust any of the settings, such as planning your route for departure at a later time, or from a different location, double tap the "Back" button in the top left corner to get to the main HopStop page, where you set your route endpoints, time and/or date of departure or arrival, and options for transportation mode (e.g. "bus", "subawy/rail or bus", "taxi", etc. The interface to use AroundMe to pass locations on to HopStop is more tortuous. You have to choose "Maps" as the route app, then start the navigation, cancel it, and double tap "Directions" as though you want to start navigating again. Only then can you double tap the "Route" button to find HopStop among the "routing apps" and select it.
Here's the App Store URL again for the free HopStop app: • HopStop Transit Directions for iPhone by HopStop.com, Inc. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hopstop-transit-directions/id303217144?mt=8 HTH.
