TGC Guaguas Global +Cercanas

G.C. The closest bus stops to the location of the device.

Stops closest to your location, of the regular intercity passenger transport service on the island of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain, Europe.

The application provides a list of stops for the regular intercity passenger transport service, ordered by proximity to the device.

Therefore it is necessary:

1. Activate GPS

2. Grant you location permission.

For each stop, it shows:

• Name of the stop [Municipality] and route.

• Lines.

• Stop code (31,522)

• Approximate distance, in kilometers and bearing icon (azimuth) from the device to the stop (1.2 km 60º)

• Icon indicating the heading (azimuth) from the device to the stop (42º). For the icon to be consistent with its surroundings, you will need to orient your device to north. In case of difficulty in orienting, click on the icon.

For each stop:

• If you click on the element, you will get a connection to the Global web, and you will get the waiting time for each service and its final destination.

• If you click on the icon, you get a connection with Google Map, indicating the shortest route on foot, from the location of the device to the chosen stop.

1.3.- Destination filter

Initially it grants all stops, regardless of their lines and destinations. Using the selector, you can select:

• Direction 1: One way

• Sense 2: Just back

Stop name filter

Initially grants all stops, regardless of their name. You can filter the name field, for example:

• San Telmo

• Telmo

• Mogan / Mogan / mog

• Cru (Cross / Cross /..)

Part of the name can be specified (albar = Albareda).

Maximum distance

The application grants the closest stops, with an initial maximum distance of 2 km. (30 minutes walking).

In the application menu you can specify maximum distances of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 17 kilometers.

Location or location permission

When an app is using your phone's GPS location, the Location icon appears at the top of the screen.

The application is only useful if you know where the device is, since you have to choose between 2500 stops, to select the closest ones. Grant the 'while using the app' permission.

If you don't grant location permission, the app specifies a 'dummy position', so you can learn how the app works.

Privacy policies

The location data is not saved, transmitted or transferred to third parties, except when the icon is clicked and it is connected to Google Map.

Location data is used within the app to locate the closest stops.

The stop code from which the lines/destinations and waits are requested is sent to the Global website, if you click on an element of the list.

Only if you click on the icon of an item in the list, it connects with Google Map, to which the location of the device and the stop will be sent.

The app does not require or use a location in the background, so the Location icon appears when you operate the app and disappears when you exit the app.
