shawn, would like you to port it to android soon I have all kinds of gps programs and they all do something that another doesn't do so well, and as I haven't loadstone at the moment I can't comment one what is available or not. I take it there is a buss stop finder that has the numbers of the busses in bound and out bound? this is already implemented in the normal maps program from google I assume, and nearest stops would be good to know too if your in a different area. trains could be on this tab too. hth
