* Added a user preference where the user can specify how many departures per service is shown at each bus stop.
* Replace the bus stop marker icons on the map with new icons which show the direction of the bus stop.
* Where possible, show locality information for the bus stop.
* Italian localisation.
* Fixed an issue in the map search results list on certain devices where the row background colour was the same as the text colour making it unreadable.
* Made the ActionBar semi-transparent in the bus stop map for devices running Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) or later, like in the Google Maps app.
* Fixed an issue where loading the location settings activity on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) showed the wrong settings activity.
* Fixed an issue which crashed the app when trying to load the QR code scanning activity.
* Ice Cream Sandwich user interface improvements.
* Cleaned up the application preferences and renamed to "Settings".
* User interface and usability fixes.
* Performance enhancements for the bus stop map and News.

Amazing, works really well. Would be nice to have a map of the bus routes too, though. For those with inaccurate GPS, try turning on wifi too.

Really good, but....
