Hello everyone,
Just in time for your 4'th of July holiday travels, Sendero is happy to
announce the addition of two new GTFS bus stop POI databases.
_California_San_Joaquin_Regional_Transit_Distric_GTFS
And
_Ohio_Central_Ohio_Transit_Authority_GTFS
Sendero has also updated over 50 GTFS bus stop data with the lasts data for
everything that had updates available. Sendero is proud to support over 63
transit feeds in over 6 countries.
In addition to updating over 50 GTFS bus stop data feeds and adding 2
additional feeds Sendero has also improved the data by offering the bus stop
ID as part of the POI's name. For those who know the Bus Sop's ID this
could help you in searching for a particular bus stop. To search for a
particular bus stop ID search in the POIs name field for ":bus stop id"
example ":2" for bus stop ID 2.
The new format of the GTFS POI's name is as follows:
(Optional) Bus #'s separated by commas. (only the first five will be shown
rest will appear in description)
Bus Stop Name (usually the cross streets)
:Bus Stop ID
,(Optional) position information
,(Optional) direction information
,(Optional) Agency name.
Examples:
78, 37. A Ave & Chandler:2, Nearside, East, TriMet
Dublin/Pleasanton BART:DUBL
113. BLANCHARD ST & 1ST AVE:25, Seattle Transit
You can go log into your Sendero account at www.gosendero.com and follow the
link to the "Google Transit POI Databases (GTFS)" to download the latest
copy. Then unzip and copy the contents into your map folder. You must have
either the 2010 or 2011 version of any of Sendero's products.
If you would like your local Transit agencies Bus stops to be converted
please go to http://www.gtfs-data-exchange.com/agencies/bylocation
If it is listed then email Sendero the name of the transit agency, city and
state/province or country.
If your transit agency does not exist in GTFS format then you will need to
contact your local transit authority and ask them if they can put their bus
data in GTFS format so Sendero can convert the data into an accessible
format.
Enjoy
