NysubwayHave you ever been frustrated because you couldn't figure out the exact intersection of a subway station? onNYturf has hacked Google Maps with an overlay of the New York City Subway system.

It can be a little slow to load, but it is a great idea. Take a look.

Thanks, Damian. Carrie and I were talking about how someone needs to develop a GoogleMaps hack that has distances for walking instead of driving. This isn't perfect, but it is pretty good.
