qMetro

If you are planning a low-budget vacation in one of the big cities across the globe, then you are probably looking for a means to make the most out of your trip without spending too much cash.

qMetro is a small utility that enables you to use metro maps from different world capitals, calculate your routes and get to discover more about the place you are visiting.

Granted, using public transport while in an unknown city can seem like a downright awful experience. On the other hand, it is an efficient way to save money when traveling, while getting to know informal rules and places that you normally would not visit as a tourist.

qMetro encompasses subway maps from the world's capitals and that can give you a hand getting around while in an unknown city. While it comes with over 200 subway mappings, you should know that you can always download more by accessing the Add map function.

The program offers suggestions about more metro maps from different places across the globe. Since you can explore and download only the one you need, this can be useful if you are planning a trip to one of the world's metropolises anytime soon.

The program allows you to save files in a wide variety of image formats, such as PNG, BMP, TIFF, ICO, JP2, PBM, PGM, DDS, ICO or XPM to name a few. You can use the search function to find a specific station that is close to the location you need to arrive to.

It is necessary to mention that if the metro map is not available for download, then there is nothing much you can do about it.

Irrespective of whether you are traveling to a little-known city for business or leisure, you can use qMetro and learn how to get around without spending too much on car rentals or taxi services.
