This app, intended for Londoners, helps you navigate the confusing local underground and the various stations. When you hold the phone flat (parallel to the floor), all 13 lines of the London Underground are displayed. The fun begins when you tilt the phone upwards. The app takes advantage of the iPhone’s video camera (yes, that means iPhone 3GS only) and immediately starts showing what is seen by the camera.
The app then layers bubbles over the background that show the nearest station, what direction they are in, how far away they are, and what tube lines they are on. If you continue tilting your phone higher and higher, you can see the stations that are further away. Check out the video demo, and go here for more info.
