Subway Maps on Your iPod

Montreal Subway Map, iPod formatiPod Subway Maps is based on a nice idea. Basically, you load an image on your iPod Photo which represents the map of different subway systems in the world. It’s fairly simple and pretty basic. I haven’t had a chance to try this, as I only have a regular iPod combined with the fact that there is no subway in Quebec City…

However, this is a small step towards a project that could be revolutionary for Apple and Google: Putting Google Maps on an iPod. Right now, the best that can be done is taking screenshots of the maps on your computer and then uploading them on the iPod. It would be nice to have a “Google Maps” item on the iPod menu and you could access (at least parts) the data that was previously loaded…

Or just buy a Pocket PC instead….

There are files for the NYC Subay Map here:

Grab them ASAP and share them with others (host them, file share, bit torrent, etc).

Good luck.

They were just issued a cease and desist letter by both the NY and Bay Area transit agencies. Apprently he is now creating them from scratch to avoid any copyright violations.
