Google Maps for mobile adds NYC subway maps

Google has added a layer that overlays NYC subway routes on a map. This will help you quickly navigate the New York City subway system. To see this new layer while viewing a map of New York City, just click the Layers menu and then turn on the Transit Lines layer. To download the latest version of Google Maps for mobile with Layers, visit m.google.com/maps from your smartphone.

You can also get step-by-step public transit directions by using the "Get Directions" menu, and then selecting the public transit icon. You can learn more about updates to Google Transit in the United States and Europe on the Google LatLong Blog.
