Lost Underground? Check Your IPod

[abracadabra]

New York-based Web designer William Bright came up with a simple idea: Take digital images of subway maps, slice them into pieces and make them viewable on color iPod screens.

Two months and almost 100,000 downloads later, Bright has subway maps from 22 cities -- from Vancouver's SkyTrain to Berlin's S-Bahn to Washington's Metro -- available for download on his Web site, *www.ipodsubwaymaps.com . The Metro's system map -- which is broken into several easier-to-read maps -- has become the third-most-popular download on the site.

All i can say is people from US do all sorts of strange things.

Why do you think that this is strange? It is something which can immensely helpful to people who need quick access to subway maps and happen to own a color iPod. In fact, I think it's a great idea. Best of all, it's free!!

By the way, nice piece of info abracadabra.

After installing map "book" on your iPod, you can also call it "iBook".
