[gps-talkusers] Re: GPS on trains

yusuf,

There are railroads that show up in our map data. However, if you asked for a 
route while on a train, it isn't going to give you a train route. I don't 
believe railroads are currently allowed because we wouldn't want a vehicle to 
go on the rails. You will probably get a vehicular route that begins parralel 
to the train.
