📲 Get the App
- pMetro (Windows) — the original project and map library used by aMetro; see the official maps page (city list).

📖 Project Background
aMetro is the Android counterpart of pMetro, a classic Windows application created by Boris Muradov.
It uses the same PMZ map format, ensuring compatibility with the large library of hand-crafted metro and transit maps.
The project was revived in 2025 with active development by Roman Golovanov.
Recent work includes:
- Updating UI for modern Android versions
- Cleaning up legacy code
- Improving localisation and multi-station search
- Packaging all maps inside the app bundle
🔒 Privacy
aMetro is designed to be 100% privacy-friendly:
