There are eight viewpoints in Tracking Mode: “Position only”, “Back”, “Top-back”, “Front”, “Top-front”, “Helicopter”, “Drone” and “Bird”, allowing you to enjoy the scenery along the railway from your preferred viewpoint.

Clicking or tapping on a map with no trains or airplanes turns Tracking Mode off.

When Tracking Mode is on, the timetable and current position of the train being tracked is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Clicking or tapping the button will bring up an additional menu, depending on the device you are using, and you can send the tracking URLs for the trains or flight and optional messages through messaging apps, email or social networking apps. When the recipient of the information opens the URL in their browser, Mini Tokyo 3D will be launched, and they will be able to track the same train or flight.

This feature is only available in the following browsers: Edge, Safari, Chrome (Android), Opera (Android) and Samsung Internet
