Hello Yusuf
Here in uk I use the mpower gps on trains its very
informative all rail stations have a poi so you
can set the station your heading for as your
destination and then use the getting warmer method
to let you know how far away you are, also the
speed and direction of the train is interesting,
but the big problem is which train company your
travelling with in uk gner trains have lightly
tinted windows so the gps can see satellites, but
it doesn't work at all on the Virgin trains
because the windows are too heavily tinted so its
as blind as I am! very frustrating.
You can't rely on being able to use gps on the
train because you never know what type of windows
there will be.
