Arrow Program/CAB for subway navigation
I'm taking a trip to NY in a few months. Being from the south I'm not well-versed in navigating the NY subway system on my own (all times on the trains has been with a native). Is there a good program that will help get around the city easily?

Re: Program/CAB for subway navigation
by clicking a few links at the above mentioned website, it told me that google maps for mobile apparently has transit info too. i didnt know that. i guess you learn something new every day.

Re: Program/CAB for subway navigation
i just tried it out, and it was pretty good really. i opened google maps and didnt see it right away. its under menu, get directions, and the three tabs are car, public transit, and walk.
pretty handy.

So have fun In New Yiddy and the quest for 28 begins today against Boston.. Goooo Yankees

Re: Program/CAB for subway navigation
Well you can download the NYC subway maps from the MTA website: http://mta.nyc.ny.us/nyct/maps/submap.htm

YOu can also dowload a program called Metro. I've been using that program for about 8 years since my old HP Jornada PDA. You can download the maps to the transit system in basically every city and every country that has one and they are updated frequently, although you have to dowload updates yourself. It also includes common landmarks as search items for directions. Check it out. http://metro.nanika.net/

I used http://metro.nanika.net/ & it is a very lite app & not resource intensive @ all. However, it is not as intuitive as is should be.
But the price is right & so is the info.
