You can check the version of your map by looking for the label on the backside of the map.
Click "Connect" and select the correct COM port.
Look for the COM port labeled as "USB JTAG/serial debug unit".

New Features

Features full Realtime live train tracking across the Metro network, now with the ESP32-S3 chip supported (rather than the ESP32-C3 on AKL and WLG).

Auckland maps now have a 4th mode that shows the Realtime live trains but hides the purple (Out of Service) trains. Access this mode by long pressing the power button to cycle through modes.

The offline Timetable Mode I added for Wellington is now available for Auckland maps. You can access the timetable modes by long pressing the power button.
The Timetable modes show the October 2025 weekday timetable. If Wi-Fi is available, the map shows the timetable for the current time of day. The second timetable mode shows the same timetable but at 600x speed.
