Sweet. Maybe this will make a better app for the CTA as opposed to all the 3rd party/Text and see when it comes/faulty new bus stops that they have put in chicago. The El is fine. you can see when those come from the platform. (except the Purple Line Express. because its so sporadic) But catching a bus in chicago can be killer sometimes. haha

Correction to my post (which I have removed via edit):
Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/google-maps-one -million-public-transit-stops/ ) shows version 6.10, not 6.1.

Version 6.10 (read six-point-ten) which would be the next version after 6.9 (six-point-nine), but that would be a stupid numbering system since 6.1 (six-point-one) is numerically equal to 6.10 (six-point-ten). Leave it to Google.

However, it's 6.9.0 -> 6.10.0 and not 6.9 -> 6.10.

I have updated to 6.10.0 and the most significant change is that it brings a new redesigned icon...

I am using Rezound. The new update caused my phone reboot twice already.

same here. I thought it was because I used custom rom. however, it happens to my father's OTA ICS rom.
