Nearby Norway for Android

Nearby is a map-based application offering easy access to features such as real-time public transport departures, weather forecasts and a basic guide to find your destination.

Nearby is built on the Faster Imaging inMAP platform. By transmitting vector data rather than map images, network usage is kept to a minimum. This ensures that considerably fewer bytes are transferred thus cheaper use.
