Google Transit Coverage Checker
To build our prototypes, we've had to create some features that we would want in a Google Transit API. This is a very basic script that will return if Google Transit has coverage in the provided zip code or lat, lon coordinate..
Usage:
http://www.altverto.com/bookmarklet/zipcheck.php?zip1=#####&zip2=#####
or
http://www.altverto.com/bookmarklet/zipcheck.php?lon1=#####&lat1=#####&lon2=####&lat2
,
Returns 0 or 1. Zip2, Lat2/Lon2 are optional. Five digit zips only right now.
quick notes
- If you provide zip codes in two different Google Transit coverage areas, it will still return 1 for now. This will be fixed in the future.
- The zip codes are not perfect. If you notice a mistake (somewhere we claim is covered that isn't, or that is covered but we don't know about), please email altverto :: at :: altverto.com
- Latitude and Longitude are simple rectangles right now and are less accruate than zip codes, bt are easier for some developers to use.
