We're proud to announce `Via`.

We’re proud to announce “Via”. A feature requested by IVG.

It is now possible to display the (estimated) time of arrival at the Via-stations for trains leaving from your selected stations.

For example: I selected Antwerp Central as station on MyTurtle, and selected Vilvoorde as Via.

It will now show the trains leaving from Antwerp Central and stopping in Vilvoorde, and the time of arrival in that station.

IPv6

The last week we’ve been quite busy adding ipv6 support to our entire IT infrastructure.

As you might, or might not know, the internet is running out of ip (v4) addresses. This is why the last few years, there has been a big push to migrate the internet to ipv6. But due to old hardware and legacy system, this has proven much harder than expected.

Most big companies (think Google, Microsoft, Facebook) have taken the lead in this and migrated everything to both ipv4 and ipv6.

Route planning on tablet

Hi all,

We’ve pushed some changes in the last few days that will result in a smoother and faster route query using tablets.

The map displaying the route, while nice, required too much individual API calls to iRail & SNCB, resulting in rather long “calculating” messages, or even no information being displayed at all (due to time outs).

This has now been fixed.

And Silver Building is equipped as well (it’s a surprise, so we had to turn it off for the picture ;))!

MyTurtle: buttons

Hi,

I’ll take this opportunity to give a quick work of explanation about the buttons you see in MyTurtle Panel.

From left to right:

1. Message
2. Clock (blue = enabled)
3. Screen power (blue = turned on)
4. Reload

Message allows you to put a short message, full screen, on your FlatTurtle. This message will exist for a short time (about 30 seconds). After that, the normal information will be displayed again.
By the way, if you want a more permanent solution, take a look at the “Footer” option, and select “Message”. This will put a permanent message at the bottom on your FlatTurtle.
