FYI for getting to your next audition/callback/coffee-meetup-gig, Google maps (GOOG) recently added the following features:

  • Street View– photos at street level can be rotated to show shops, landmarks, etc
  • MTA Transit Info– pop-ups showing subway and other transit info

Here’s a brief intro:


Google Maps gained a new feature Monday: The transit station icons on Google Maps now present transit information when clicked.

“Depending on the data available for a given public transit system, Google Maps now shows the next departure times, what lines serve a specific station, and/or a link to the transit agency to get more detail,” said Christoph Oehler, a product manager at Google, in a blog post.


BTW I didn’t notice if they had actual subway routing ala HopStop, but hopefully that’s soon… or they just buy HopStop outright. :-)
