Railway Map vs Open Railroad Guide

Railways Map is a powerful, easy-to-use iOS app that brings the entire world's railway infrastructure to your fingertips. Based on the OpenRailwayMap project, it overlays global railway data directly onto standard and satellite Apple Maps. Explore railways in three detailed viewing modes: - Infrastructure: See tracks, stations, sidings, depots, and more - Train Protection and Signals: View signal systems, safety infrastructure, and control technology - Maximum Speed: Visualize the speed limits across the railway network A built-in legend is always accessible, helping you understand every color and symbol on the map in real time. The app includes a powerful search feature to locate stations, addresses, or any point of interest around the world with ease. Automatically draw complex multi-stop railway routes across the network with intelligent pathfinding between stations and waypoints. To ensure a smooth experience, all railway data is cached locally as you browse, allowing for faster access to previously viewed areas. You can clear the cache at any time to free up disk space. Whether you are a railway enthusiast, professional, or simply curious about the rail networks around you, Railways Map offers a comprehensive and intuitive mapping experience.

OpenRailroadGuide puts detailed railroad maps and historical aerial imagery in your pocket so you can explore, save, and share the places that matter to railfans, historians, and planners.
