    Not sure if this is the right forum for this, apologies if not. Does anyone know if google have any plans to document the public transport in Ireland? So when you ask google for directions and click on public transport it will show you buses, trains etc?

    Thanks guys. I knew there were apps for buses etc but I really like the feature in google maps that you can just tap/click somewhere onscreen and get directions to there. I don't like the route planner in the Dublin bus app.

    I have been using hit the road and it's great on desktop but I've found it a bit unstable on my phone

    New update of Maps supports transit times for buses and trains. Users can input a departing time and Maps will proceed to pull up schedules and diections.

    It's also added Lane Navigation. Filters for Points of Interest.

    Saving maps offline has been officially introduced but not offline Nav....yet.

    Few other bits.

    Their's a few recommendations in the comments of that^^^, for offline Nav.

    What do peeps use on here?
