Use of the train stations: Do they need to be put on a city where you already have cars for a continuing route--or just make a dead end connection?

No. You may win extra points if your routes totally connect but you may have routes all over the board that don't connect to each other.

Yes you can. There is a 'list' button which helps you navigate between tracks.

Most GPS's you can select a route via you put in the city's you want to go through and that is the way the GPS takes you. Those are call waypoints along the route. But as I said before, I would not buy this GPS.

In my experience you have to set a via point so the GPS will route in the direction you want. For example. I travel from central KY to northern WI. The GPS will route me through Chicago and all the toll roads and traffic. So I set a via point at Normal, IL after I have entered my WI destination. The GPS will ask you if it's a new destination or if you want to add it to the active route. You choose "active route" and you get the opportunity to pick where in the line-up it goes. So you can set multiple via points if you wish.

I believe it would. You can create your own "track". So you would have to create a "Track" for each bus route. I've never created a track, so I cannot say how easy or difficult it is to do.

It should work. I was able to map a track that was not on the list. In your case it would be difficult because the bus makes stops it's not a starting line and finish line and routes can change.

The Matchbox and/or Hot Wheels cars would have to be pushed on the track. The train and cars that work on these tracks are battery powered and go on their own. Not sure if that's what you're asking or not. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the input, I was becoming very frustrated, prehaps I'm just in an area that does not have active traffic available.Chuck

Not really. And one annoying thing is that if you deviate from the route (because you know better or trying to get around a jam) it will keep telling your to turn around to get back to your original route.

I think it's 6 train cars and 6 vehicles. The vehicles will also fit on the tracks, they just don't magnetically connect to one another like the train cars do.

You would have to get really creative to do it. The track is not meant to connect with Hot wheels tracks.

Yes, you can extend your network between buildings with the M5. Miles, my setup is a short haul at 0.6 of a mile, but if you have line of site believe the specs.

Yes you can, but the Power-Loc track options are somewhat limited. You could get a Power-Loc adapter track section that would connect to other roadbed tracks, like Bachmann's E-Z track for more options, or if you want more flexibility move up to Atlas snap-track fastened onto a sheet of plywood. And yes you can use more cars and locomotives, but be careful: this set uses the old-style horn-hook couplers. If you will be adding other Life-Like products or older Bachmann and Tyco stuff, this is fine. But other companies' newer stuff uses the more realistic knuckle couplers. You may want to replace the couplers on a few of the cars and locomotives, or make a few "transition" cars (horn-hook on one side, knuckle on the other.) For more than one locomotive, you would need to upgrade to DCC. The locomotive on this set does not come with DCC, and is tricky to upgrade, but many DCC systems allow you to run a single "regular" locomotive like that one, in addition to several DCC locomotives.

Yes, you definitely can. Make sure you buy the correct track to match your style train.
1533247
Yes and no. You can probably have the 2 stations and enough straight pieces to make a longer layout and have some left over pieces but you are better off buying the straight and curved pieces they sell separately. The Fisher Price Trackmaster Thomas trains also run on the Tomica HyperCity blue tracks perfectly. Those Tomica tracks might be cheaper too [They do not interconnect with the Fisher Price tracks]

Yes, you can plan alternative route. It will tell you mileage & time. You can then return to original route or stay with new.

Idk if this helps. I have 10-18 stops per day that I need to fallow in order, ive sinked my android phone with the garmin and just type them in one by one, the garmin asks to add this to the route. Only problem there is is with some gps locations are not accurate thus once u arrive to ur destination it goes and calculates the next destination. Not a perfect thing, but if u dont know where u are it helps a lot, especially with truck restrictions
