And as they say about dog food, and how you should eat your own…
Tomorrow I'm going on a conference, and what better way than to plan the trip using your own stuff :-)
Here I have entered the time a which I would at the latest want to arrive and entered the start and destination, so I've gotten some alternatives. Notice how now the trips are ordered by arrival time, and in reverse time order (so to speak). This was a behavior that one of Andreas' test panel persons commented on: ”This is different from Google, but I actually like it better this way!“.
I have now selected a trip that is among the fastest (and has fewer changes).
Clicking on the little expand reavler button on a leg of the trip shows the intermediate stops the train makes on the way. This is especially useful when your a bit unsure where to get off so that you can make a note of the stop just before (I well know this already in this case, though).
Now I used the export functionallity to save down the map view to my phone (currently there's a little bug in libchamplain where the path layers aren't exported along, but thankfully Marius have made a patch for it).
Speaking of exporting, since last time I have also made the print button only show up when selecting a particular trip.
However, currently the print layout implementation for this mode is only stubbed out and just shows a header with the start and destination names.
Hopefully Andreas' will get around to cook up some nice mockups for that soon, bearing the same good quality as the ones used for rendering the sidebar itinerary views.
This will also be useful, either to make an actual paper printout, or to export to i.e. PDF to view on a mobile device, for example.
And that's pretty much what has happened since the last blog post in June on this subject that comes to my mind.
