MessageFrom what I gather, and I warn you I haven't used it, instead of using a
GPS receiver attached to your phone, what it does is tell you about the cell
transmitter you're closest to. i.e. your cell phone is connected to a
transmitter at all times when switched on and in range. It might be worth
experimenting with Mini GPS, dropping a marker the next time you're at the bus
stop you want to find, then seeing if it gives you good or useful warning the
next day when you return. When it moves into the range of the transmitter you
have flagged up as important, it will tell you.
Trouble is, if bus stops are close together where you live, and cell
transmitters are far apart, it definitely won't work.
I reckon Mini GPS is likely to work best on intercity trains to give you a
vague idea of your upcoming station and to rouse you if you're sleeping ;)

Hi all -
I use a bus route regularly, and I need to know when I'm at my stop. Is
wayfinder the best tool for this job, if so, what actually do I need, where
from, and what wil it cost me?
Thanks -
Andy
