See what is outside the window of your Shinkansen.
- Before you board: the first screen answers "Mt. Fuji is on the Seat E side" and "In Green cars it is seat D." This holds in both directions.
- Live guide on board: tap start, and the app follows your position along the line by GPS. It announces "In 1 min 30 sec, Seat E side" ahead of each highlight, then "Mt. Fuji, Seat E side" while it is visible.
- Automatic left/right: the side is computed from the map bearing of the sight and the direction the train is running, so it flips correctly on up-bound trains.
- Keeps going in tunnels: when GPS drops, the app estimates your position from your last speed and shows "In tunnel (estimating position)."
- Live Activity: the countdown to the next highlight appears on the Lock Screen.
- 85 highlights: 55 on the Tokaido Shinkansen and 30 on the Sanyo Shinkansen, across mountains, rivers, sea, lakes, castles, cities, bridges and tunnels, each with a photo tip and the best seasons.
- Next station and current speed, in km/h or mph.
- Japanese and English, following the system language or set by hand.
