Hi Chip,Sorry I forgot to respond/request the text files. Yes please, I'd very much appreciate them. Since you have all of them, if it's no trouble, may I please have them all? Many thanks again for being willing to share!

Hi Mimi, There are 2 routes which stop at the Village Square stop: Red Hills and Dogwood; I think it's Red Hills that you want. You can call StarMetro if you want exact route descriptions, or, you can call Allison, I know she'd be glad to look at the schedule for you; we take Red Hills, but we're going south from Village Square, so I don't know the route north of there. (We ran into Bruce Weaver on Red Hills the other day). Anyway, Allison's day-time number is 413-6314 and our home is 668-6665. I do have a text file if anyone wants it, with a description of each stop and its location and the routes which use it (one stop per line, about 800 stops). It also describes whether the route stops just before or after the intersection, and whether there is a bench and/or shelter at the stop (thanks to Charles Main and Brian Waterman and John Plescow for getting me the data). You can search the text file for street names etc. to locate a stop you might want, or upon request, I could produce a text file of stops within a given radius of a specific address, or for a specific route, etc. Chip -----Original Message----- From: tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mimi Robinson Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 11:46 AM To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tabi] Re: StarMetro bus-stop locations for GPS devices Thanks to all the genius gifted folks, I am able to benefit fromall of your labors. Any clues about the route that runs out thomasville road from village square north to kerry forest and target. Used to be 80x I think. Smack in the middle of shamrock south, east west and north, I think the bus would not be any closer. Magic my guide german shepherd walks me five miles but we do not cross thomassbille at kerry forest for the pleasure of Walmart. Oh well so many other things to do. ~Mimi -----Original Message----- From: tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Easy Talk Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2012 9:39 AM To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tabi] Re: StarMetro bus-stop locations for GPS devices Hi Chip, I have the sendero GPS and would be willing to give it a try. Also does the file format you have work with Google maps or any of the other numerous android GPS maps. Most of them require internet or phone carrier access. You can download the maps for Google maps to your device and use the GPS receiver for tracking.

If you have something specific in mind which theformat would need tomeet, that shouldn't be any problem. Otherwise, they hadalmost 75 columns, soI'd pick less than 10 and export those to either afixed column width textfile, or comma separated one, depending on what youneeded.Writing little programs to get the data exported tojust the right formatisn't really a difficult task usually. Let me know.
