Incredible app - for JR pass holders, Google Maps is useless – Japan Travel - Route,Map,Guide Review

You can optimise for JR pass routes on this app, specially the Shinkansen Bullet trains you can take for free - Google Maps keeps suggesting more expensive options which wasn’t super useful. Sometimes it helps to check Google Maps to see which station is closer to your actual destination...so a map split view would be kinda nice right inside this app and something I might be willing to pay for. All the train stations are in English but I would have also liked if the local Bus stops which were often in Japanese were also in English. Google maps suffers from the same problem so they’re doing the best with the data they have I guess. This something we had to get by with by asking people in Japan around - who are also perhaps the best humans I’ve ever come across.
