Because there is always room to bridge the divide between geographic map and subway map, Gothamist welcomes onNYTurf's Google Map NYC-Subway Hack. While it's a work in progress (works best on Firefox), it's stll a good look at how far a subway stop might be from your destination (not to mention) which subway stop might be closer). Hopstop gives great walking directions, which Trips 123 does as well, but they lack maps. So, thanks, Will!

easy, simple, and they fight the MTA tooth and nail for the people.
It's really great how anything West of NYC is LA, all South is the South Pole, East is Ocean Monsters, and to the North is only Canada.
