Hi Barry, No Sendero did not help in the development of the android APH product, and unfortunately it is not possible to get our GTFS database into their product. They would have to convert the GTFS feeds or make them work for their own product. Thanks.

Thanks for that information. It is my understanding that Sendero was involved in the Developmemth of Nearby Explorer app which my wife has on her Galaxy Nexus and her Braille Plus 18. Should she contact APH directly about adding the Halifax feed or would your change be applicable to her as well. Thanks everyone.
