Say I want to go from the Chamblee station to the College Park station.

What do I type into the search blanks?

Seems like they would have a drop down list of the stations.

It's for more than just station to station. It's an autofill or geoaddresses, so it includes walking and bus directions.

You can find the stations on the map and click on them to set start and end locations. Or, I mean, you could just look at the actual rail map.

At Cq said, it's more for putting in actual addresses.

Wish I could just type in the station name and it would pull it up. That's how I tend to navigate -- station to station.

When I type in Five Points, it's bringing up Five Points in Opelika, AL, Five Points Baptist Church in Waco, GA, the Five Points Diner in SC, etc.

Also, suppose you don't know the specific street address or location of a station? (Quick, without Googling around, what is the street address of the Midtown MARTA station?) The stations are not always that easy to find on the map.

Is it hard to simply add the stations directly? It seems like that would be a no-brainer.

Can't make everyone happy, all the time. In fact, station-to-station is the easiest.

Exactly. That's why it would be so much easier if they added a way to easily select the stations you want as beginning and end points.

A simple drop down list would be perfect, but at least make it so that when you type in the name of the station you can get directly to it that way.
