Hey Mike,
Can you elaborate on the importing process. I have some detailed bus stop
info in a .xls spreadsheet. It has the lat/long locations for the stops on
all the routes that serve Lansing, East Lansing and Michigan State University.
The problem I have with their info is that they use a system indicating the
stops in degrees, then down to the ten thoustandth or maybe even six digits
out. They don't use the customary (at least for Sendero and Trekker) minutes
and seconds designation.
If there is/was a formula to make that conversion reliably, i might
be able to
apply it so it would be in a better format to get into the transit database.

Howard,
I don't recall who we have been in contact, quite a few leads that
needed following up on.
We are in the process of changing the data format for bus stops to
adopt a more universal way of importing data. Check back with us in a
couple weeks and perhaps you can contact them with the new information.
