You need to see if there is a Google Transit Feed for Sidney. If so,
contact Sendero to include it. If not, lobby the transit company to make
one available on GTFS.

Hi steve, I set bus stops as pois all the time, as there doesn't appear to
be a google transit database available for Sydney Australia. Is there a
way to get them to provide a database to Sendero for inclusion, I think
the only areas in australia that have gogle transit databases used in
sendero gps are adelaide and perth.

Eric,
Have you checked out the Sendero GPS app?
I don't have it on my iPhone, but I do use Sendero GPS on a Braille
notetaker. Depending on where you are located, your transit company
might have their stops programmed in the google Transit database; Sendero
has made many of those available. It will list every bus stop in the
system with its location to within 20 feet.
If that is not available, I make a private POI when I get off the bus at
that stop. Then, when I leave my destination, I set that POI as my
destination and can always get to within ten feet of the stop.

I wonder how you might have handled this situation.
I was going for an appointment in an area and office building I have not
been to before. I needed to transfer busses and then get off where I have
not taken the bus before. I then had to find a stop when leaving the
appointment.
I have most of the usual navigational tools talked about here. I had two
people look at my screens and use their own devices to try to help orient
me
to the situations, and we all came up way off.
When I changed busses first, I needed to know where the next stop would
be.
Whether it was a simple pole or bench or shelter would have been most
useful
to know, too. Then, I needed to know which stop would be best so I could
find a cross walk. I knew where the building I was going was, but how
about
where the door was in relationship to the street corner, parking lot etc.
Coming home, I needed to know where the returning bus stop was and again,
it
would have been most helpful to know if it was a pole, bench or shelter.
After a horrible experience getting to my appointment, I did call the
transit service and asked if they could tell where my stop would be, etc.
I
don't know what tools they had, but I was told approximately where it was
in
relationship to a street crossing and that it was a shelter.
Given those circumstances, can anyone think how I could have gotten that
information on my own or how I could have had others find the
information.
Of course, I could simply call the transit company and hope they always
can
find the stop information, but I still would like to know the layout of
buildings.
I read things all the time about how people use maps and street views to
tell virtually everything about locations, but it seems when I need that
information I don't know how to find it or ask others to look for it.
All ideas how you might handle these situations will be most appreciated.
I
should say I have very good cane skills and can generally orient myself
to
any situation. I would just like to be able to do so faster and easier
using
today's technologies, if possible.
Eric
