The problem with location searching has been fixed.

Thanks to Edinburgh City Council, EdinBus now has additional data on stops. Stop directions are now shown on the map, and stop names are now full length.

All Lothian Buses are now low-floor, so the Accessibility icon has been removed from the stop display.

EdinBus also supports iOS 4 and has new Retina Display graphics for iPhone 4. Madder and white is back!

Stop refreshing does not work in the background in this version, due to limitations of iOS 4 multitasking.
