The Subway Map translation project takes two more big steps forward, with a new contribution for Estonian, and a near completion of the Polish translation

The onNYTurf Subway Map has been translated to German. Our translation project is setting the standard for accessibility such services aught to provide.

The onNYTurf Subway Map has been updated to include information for the NJ Hudson-Bergen Light Rail

We're greatly expanding the amount of information on the subway map. But we can't do it alone, so we're introducing two new community projects, one to expand station detail information and another to do translations. Please get involved!

Want to discuss the map, this thread is all yours!

Note: DON'T post errors here. We have a wiki page for errors, please put them there.

With all the variety of information people seek about subway stations, it seems like it might be a good idea to add a feature to the subway map which would allow you to expand the view of each station info window, so that visitors can browse a whole page of information for each station.

Here is an example of what I mean:



It also seems to be a good idea to allow anyone to edit the content, since there is so much information to be gathered. Each station would basically have a wiki page of information that any registered user can edit. But before wiring this up and embarking on this project, it would be good to provide some guidelines and templates for everyone to use, so that all the pages could be similarly composed and styled from the start. But to do that I need some ideas about what might be good to go into the pages. I'm not looking for a definitive list, as things can be easily expanded, but some basics to start with. For example, we know many stations have different schedules, weekday, weekend, whatever (im not entirely sure actually and couldnt find any simply structured information at the MTA website). So some thoughts on how schedule information like that might be structured. And anything else that comes to mind. Please just throw ideas into the comments below.

We're Refactored Renewed Relaunched and Are Ready To Reabuse

You've probably noticed we've updated the subway map. It's been a lot of work. A more detailed review of whats new on the site is here. If you've are having a problem with the new version please post it to this thread. Make sure you list browser type and version, and instructions on how to recreate the problem.

NOTE, for map detail errors, like station errors and such please continue to use our Subway Map Issues page. I'm only looking for functionality problems here.

Thanks, and thanks to our donors who've made this a lot easier!

Hey Subway Map Users

So, in the migration from V1 to V2 of the Google Map API last month, looks like I created some bugs in the favorites system. One manifestation of this was adding searched addresses suddenly stopped working. I think that is basically working now, but I saw some other problems while working on it, like the list of favorites not updating itself after editing. Then looking into that at the code I think I spotted some internal conflicts.

Please be patient, I will dig into this tonight. This is high priority. Hopefully things will be patched sometime Thursday Dec 7th.

This the third discussion thread for the subway map. Here was the first and here was the second. Those both have over 130 comments each, so please put new comments in this one.

If you are reporting an error or a bug, please log it on the Subway Map Issues wiki page. That page is checked regularly and is the definitive list for errors and bugs and corrections.

If you have spotted a critical error, like a subway line number is incorrectly listed, please email me right away! will-at-onnyturf.com

Tonight I just upgraded the map to V2 of the google map api. It has checked out reasonably well in FFox and IE6.

Other upgrades in development are:

• Directions
• More Station Entrance Exit Details
• Better Favorites, like grouping and sorting, and linking to groups of favorites
• Exporting a Map for Placement on Your Blog
