How accurate are the new uk maps and does google have a database of bus and
train information?

Some of you have asked how to get your city included. This email was
recently sent to the list. Please read and note the list of transit
databases listed below.
Mike
GPS systems wouldn't be very interesting without data content. Most
systems contain street map data for major countries. The number of
businesses varies however a lot from system to system. I believe the more
data the better, especially for blind users who can't see the print signs on
businesses or on bus shelters.
This is why, as part of a Small Business grant, Sendero has been working to
format the Google Transit System Feed data, GTSF, which has well over 100
databases of city transit stops in North America and a few other countries.
GTSF provides a common format, which makes importing these diverse databases
possible. So far, 36 of the 130 databases are available on 2010 Sendero GPS
products and the remainder will be addressed on a user request basis. If you
or a client are using one of the Sendero GPS products and would like your
local transit stop database made available, check the list below and if you
see it, email GPS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with your request.
With this data, the user can find the exact locations of bus and light rail
stops around the city. You can hear the bus numbers at that location and
other relevant information about that stop or shelter. One of the best
databases to check out if there isn't one in your city, is the Portland
Oregon TriMet system.
