Connections come from the Wiener Linien and ÖBB timetables and are computed on your device. When the first departure is within the next hour, the route asks Wiener Linien whether that very departure is on time (wave icon); the S-Bahn stays by timetable. Walking times as the crow flies, no regional trains or buses. Addresses are looked up by the City of Vienna's address service; recent routes are remembered on this device only.

What the map shows
Every vehicle of the Wiener Linien, the Badner Bahn and the S-Bahn that is on the move according to the timetable travels along its line between the stops. Positions are calculated from the timetable, not measured. Nearby, and for the vehicle you select, the map shifts U-Bahn, trams and buses by their Wiener Linien real-time delay; cancellations and rail replacement services are invisible to it. The S-Bahn comes from the ÖBB timetable and is shown up to the first stop beyond the city limits, all the way to the airport; regional trains and buses are missing. Tapping a stop shows its scheduled departures and, once available, the Wiener Linien real-time departures (the S-Bahn stays by timetable there). The map is light by day and dark by night, following the sun over Vienna. Time runs in real time by the Vienna clock; the slider shows any time of the day, and "Now" brings the clock back.
