Does an app exists that tells me if I am in the correct train in Belgium?

I am sitting in a Belgian train. The announcement on the electronic information panel in train is indicating contradictory information to what staff told me when I started my trip. There is no authority in sight.

I do have connection to the internet. Does a website or app exist that can tell me where I am and what the next stops are going to be?

I know that the Thalys offers this on their on-board intranet. There you simply connect to their wifi and you'll see where you are. I am wondering if a similar service exist for normal trains and buses.

Best Answer

I use Google Maps or Apple Maps, but you could use any mapping software that shows your position via GPS. Find your target city and compare your current position with the destination. You should be able to trace back your position on marked railway lines on the map back too where you are.
