Is this the first ever map of real time underground? Have been looking for an android app that does it for ages, so looking forward to this releasing!

Not first… the 2D map I link to in the post did real-time before us. This is certainly the first 3D (with depths) real-time tube map that I've seen!

Ah okay, yeah I have never even seen a diagram of the depths before!

I don't think many people have! ;)

Can't wait to see this! When will it launch? Only for London though?

Glad you're excited about it. We don't have a date yet but we're working hard to get it out as soon as we feel it's ready. And London to start with, though we already have plans for other cities (so long as the data exists).

Any suggestions for cities?

San Fran would be great although any city would be interesting
