Read full description

Train Net records the railway you ride, using GPS. Only the segments you actually rode end up in your log. There are no stations to check off one by one. Tap start at the station you are boarding from, get on the train, and the segments you pass are automatically detected and filled in on the map. ■ How to Use Tap start at the station you board, tap stop when you get off. Train Net automatically works out which segments you rode from the stations you passed in between. It supports transfers and through services, leaving every segment you rode directly in your log. ■ Key Features 【Map & Stats】 • Interactive map coloring in your ridden segments, with line-by-line coverage • Detailed statistics including total distance, lines ridden, lines completed, and number of rides • Achievement badges earned by distance and line completions • Regional rankings by distance and number of rides 【Ride Log】 • Full history of past rides with routes, photos, and notes • Optional details for train name, class, vehicle/car/seat number, and fare paid • Travel spending automatically totalled by currency 【Convenient Functions】 • Live Activity support (view line name and elapsed time on your Lock Screen in real time) • Background recording support (continues recording even when the app is closed) ■ Railways in 23 Regions Includes passenger railway data for 23 regions: Japan (179 operators, 621 lines, 9,030 stations), Finland, Norway, Ireland, Italy, Croatia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Georgia, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, UK, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Spain, Portugal, USA, Canada, and Australia.
