Vienna interactive map goes mobile
New mobile version of wien.at Vienna city map with additional infos for
everyone

Vienna (pte016/17.04.2013/11:41) - Vienna is now offering a mobile version
of the popular wien.at city map with a wealth of additional information for
tourists and locals.

The city council plans to further develop the app, which is based on
wien.at's most popular feature, so that it is also usable offline and make
it available to as many Smartphone brands as possible.

The app allows you to look up an address with satellite or a traditional map
view but also lets you search for short-term car parks, toilets, water
points and parks.

Points of interest will also display additional information such as the date
of building. The city has said it aims to ultimately provide the same
information as on the traditional wien.at desktop version of the map.

The app does not have a GPS system but the Viennese councillor for training
and information Christian Oxonitsch has not ruled out the possibility of
adding the feature in the future.

There are already concrete plans for the app to provide live traffic and
public transport information, if the operators of the latter, Wiener Linien,
decide to make their live-timetable publically available.

The development of the app cost 40,000 Euros according to the city council -
an app which is said to be several times more accurate than any other
commercial maps.
