Métro 
Installation


Attention! The city databases from versions older than 4.2.0 cannot be used with this release. It is recommended that you delete any version of Métro older than 4.2.0 before installing this one ("Memory" icon on your Pilot, then "Delete" button on PalmOS 2.0 or option "Delete" in system menu "App" on PalmOS 3.0).

Download

You first have to download the package containing the program and the city files:

Unzip

You should now extract fhe files from the package to your desktop computer. You can use one of the many tools available: WinZip for Windows or StuffIt Expander for Macintosh (strongly recommended, other tools may corrupt the files).

The included files are:
