Where to? Type a station, a place or an address and the board keeps the trains that get you there — with a change when that's the way, like Silver to Metro Center then Red to Rockville. Choose Fastest, Balanced or Fewest changes in the Where to? sheet or in Settings. The journey shows both trains and ends where you get off; for a place it ends on the place itself, with the walk. A minute on foot counts as two, so the station next to your destination wins over a long walk from a nearer line. Also: the walk to the station is a capsule you can tap for directions. The widget carries on from the timetable between updates instead of going blank. A Silver train WMATA labels Blue no longer shows as Blue, and no longer opens a false service gap on the Status page.
