DoubleMap

About this app

DoubleMap is a real-time GPS bus tracking system.

DoubleMap allows riders to track the exact location of a bus in real time for your city. We know how busy your day is. Don't waste a minute of it waiting at a bus stop.

Android app features:
- View buses in real time on the map
- View specific routes and associated stops
- View your current location if GPS is enabled
- View current bus system related announcements such as delays and re-routing
- Made specifically for Android devices, so it's smoother than the DoubleMap bus tracker mobile website

Some of the bus and shuttle systems with DoubleMap bus tracking include CityBus of Lafayette, Indiana University (IU), Georgetown University, Bloomington Transit, University of Cincinnati (UC), and Columbia Missouri. More transit systems are being added to DoubleMap all the time!

Ratings and reviews

When it works, it works well, but often, it doesn't. The routes settings useful if you only want to see routes relevant to you, but I've had issues with my routes being changed to "show none", several times, and routes are often hidden from the menu, so I can't always see all my routes. The app also has connectivity issues, so if I'm sitting at a stop, I often can't track the bus I'm waiting for. Additionally, it would be nice to be able to see multiple transit systems at once, but you can't.

I use this app with the Yale shuttle system, and it's pretty annoying. The times for stops never update, so you have to rely solely on the tracker images of where the bus is. Also, sometimes it doesn't show the whole route, just the part of the route the bus is currently on, which is very frustrating when you're trying to plan your travel and the shuttle route changes at an unknown time.

The latest update was a failure. I install it, select a bus system, and it works. But when I come back the next day, bus routes are missing from the map. The only way to restore those routes is to clear data then go into the app and select the bus system over again. That's a lot of extra steps when I'm scrambling to make a bus first thing in the morning. The developers have gone from blaming me for their failed update, to radio silence. So, uninstalled.
