Cool new Google maps feature

Google Maps now displays buildings and subways in the map view! This is really cool. You can actually see an outline of my building if you search for 175 Adams Street; 11201. As you can see, I am very close to the “A” train. Unfortunately, what the map doesn’t show you is that the subway extends for two blocks in either direction; an entrance to the subway is right on my street, and you don’t have to cross the street to enter.

My brother works with Google Maps, so buy him a beer next time you see him.

Thanks to the DreamHost Blog for noticing this!
