What’s New

This release brings to Windows Phone 7 most of the exciting new features already available in Nokia Transport for Windows Phone 8.
Building on its smart, easy-to-use interface, Nokia Transport 3.1 for Windows Phone 7 introduces new features to make it even easier to simply glance and go. A new segment map provides a detailed map view for each part of your route that orients to where you are and shows where you need to be next. What’s more, Nokia Transport 3.1 lets you look at future routes and departure times, so you can plan ahead for your trip across town.

• Combined segment map & detail view - orient yourself at a glanceJust tap or swipe a specific segment of your journey to expand an intuitive map and detail view that easily lets you see where you are and where you need to be. Another tap or swipe collapses the view. Now you can relax and enjoy the ride instead of worrying about whether you’re at the right station.
• Icons help you choose the right destination
  Search results now have icons so you can distinguish the Rockefeller Center subway stop from the Rockefeller Center itself at a glance.
• Set date and time - now you can plan aheadMeeting up for dinner later? Simply enter your desired date and time to view your route options, and then choose the one that works best for you. Now you know what time you need to leave, the station you need to get to, and the train you need to catch.
• New departure time display options - have it your waySome of us like knowing what time a train leaves. Some of us like knowing how much time we left have until the train leaves. Now you can choose to display departure times either by actual times (e.g. 11:48 am), or relative times (e.g. now or in 13 minutes). So whatever makes sense to you, you can just glance and go.
• Manage your destination history - easily delete to keep your history tidyThe latest version of Nokia Transport now also lets you easily delete your destination history for a clean, uncluttered display, and to make finding more recent destinations easier.
• Miles or kilometers - it’s your choiceNo matter where you are, Nokia Transport lets you choose how your distances are displayed to suit your preference. After all, you don’t want to miss a train because you thought 1 mile would only take you 3 minutes.
