[gps-talkusers] Re: GPS on trains

Charles,

I have found that hwen I am in the Bay Area, if I search for the word BART
under the bus/rail category that all of the BART stations do appear. So, are
you refering to some other type of data? And, for those who are in the
Sacramento area and ride Light Raille, I have marked more than half of the
Light Raille train stops. So, people in the Sacramento area can search under
the user category and for those who are in the Bay Area can search under the
bus/rail category.
Happy Trainning
Kevin
