Wonderful apps! NAPTAN is not that great in some areas, accuracy wise. I know that, in Leeds, that some NAPTAN bus stop locations that are about 100m off (either up or down the street from the actual location they should be) - but you could get better NAPTAN sourced bus stops locations from OpenStreetMap.
The Naptan points were imported into OSM and then folks have been verifying and cleaning the locations of the stops. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Naptan for more information about the import, status, schema etc. You can also download just the locations of these cleaned bus stops using an Xapi service, i.e. http://developer.mapquest.com/web/products/open/xapi The OSM map tiles have bus stops icon built into the map, which may be useful too ( http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.46644&lon=-2.25054&zoom=17&layers=M) Cheers, Tim On 17 June 2011 11:42, Ian Dunlop <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Just put together a ruby on rails 3 web based bus app using the Naptan bus > stop data from data.gov.uk and the GMPTE atco-cif data.
