Hi, same problem here.
How can I change language (now in English, would prefer Finnish)?
How can i save routes ? (When choosing "My routes" on the phone, the program only tells me that I have no saved routes and dous not allow me to add any..)

When trying to edit the Widgets options in the dashbaord manager, there are no options available, jut the OK and Cancel buttons..

Is the Widget incomplete, or dont I just understand ho to edit it??
thanx

Hei,

currently we have one and only version of the Journey Planner. You can find it from the library by name: YTV Reittiopas.

If your phone langauge is Finnish, you have the widget in Finnish. If the language is English or possible something else, it's in English. If this is not the case how it works for you now, please make sure you have the latest version of this widget in use.

To save teh routes, choose the route and get it. Then open "Show info". This give you a possibility to save the exact route for chosen time.

This widget does not have any special settings available.

You can add/save different addresses or places, that you can select to From and To fields and select the time and date for your trip and the planner shows you then all needed information how to get there by public transport in Helsinki capital area.

If you have any improvement ideas for the widget, please feel free to write here.

One improvement I'd desperately need is this:

saving the exact route, but without the chosen time. Saving the time is totally useless at least for me. Usually I have a set of commonly traveled routes, but the time I travel it naturally depends. So what I need is to be able to select the route and the results would be displayed for current time.

I think this is the common case, instead of finding for the exact time. If someone is traveling some route commonly during an exact time, he probably knows the timetable by heart already.

Another improvement I'd like is to fetch more results instead of showing only the 3 first ones.

Yes, you're right. This is much more common use case for journey planner. I will propose this to our developers. Thanks!

Hello,
it would be also nice to have there list of bus stops or minimap like on Reittiopas web page. I am foreigner living in Helsinki and I never know on which stop I have to change. And because in bus you have to signal to the driver before reaching the bus stop, it so easy to miss it.
