Hello Michael and Paula, If either of you has Ariadne GPS, you might consider using the recently updated capabilities of that app to set alarms for bus stops. There was a recent post on another list on this subject: <begin quote> I really like Ariadne and use it everyday to make sure I don't miss my bus stop. The bus rout has a very long straight section with minimal clues along the way to tell me where on the route I am. Ariadne is perfect in this situation, i pull it out when I know I am getting close and the app will have the POI which I set near my bus stop on the front screen of the app. All I need to do is put VO focus on the distance and Ariadne will count down the distance to the bus stop for me. It will also play an alarm when I am a certain distance from the stop. <end quote>
HTH.
