Ported from a C++ Macintosh program I wrote, ProRates lets you click
on a map to trace the route from one part of Madison to another. It will
calculate the approximate mileage, cab fare, and paratransit fare while
you click. We use the C++ version to help estimate fares, especially multistop
ones.
Landmark labels can be shown to help you figure out how to get from one
place to another.
The maps, the map scale, the monetary units, and the landmarks are set
via applet parameters, so you can use it for the city of your choosing.
