Last weekend, Chris and nero 9 full version download Sara came over for an early birthday celebration for Hanna. Today, May 15th, she turns two!!
Chris and nero 9 full version download I got talking about tech and the new transit icons that nero 9 full version download have been incorporated onto Google Maps. Chris, as a steward for Google Transit, participated in and nero 9 full version download championed for the addition of transit onto the core mapping product. He mentioned that nero 9 full version download a pretty involved discussion between Google designers was going ’round about the proper icon for transit. It turns out that nero 9 full version download by looking through related reference material such as maps and the nero 9 full version download Lonely Planetbooks, the letter “M” (for Metro) is the most common. Some argued that nero 9 full version download it should be a non-latin character, perhaps a depiction of a nero 9 full version download train, but the M won out as the default icon. For those cities that nero 9 full version download have a very iconic brand for their transit, such as the nero 9 full version download London Underground, Google opted to display that icon instead. Here’s a quick sampling of some major cities.
San Francisco uses the default icon and displays the name of the station
Paris names their transit the “Metro” and as such their own icon is used
New York uses the nero 9 full version download default icon for the subway but also incorporates a pictorial icon for nero 9 full version download PATH
London uses the historic underground icon on the map
Berlincalls it’s transit the U-Bahn and is depicted with a “U” icon
Barcelona offers a twist on the metro “M” icon

Two side notes for Google maps:
When did they incorporate the transparent 3D maps? I saw this when zoomed all the way in for SF and for NYC. Very cool stuff.- Chris brought to nero 9 full version download my attention the availability of schedule data from BART. The named the service “Open Schedules” and are offering the data feed in the GTFS (Google Transit Feed Specification). Now you can create your own app to display BART schedules.
Helpful post, Dan. I came upon your nero 9 full version download site while thinking we should use what google uses as an nero 9 full version download icon to signify condo developments near metro, subway, etc. on our website as part of the nero 9 full version download search criteria. I think we’ll go with the basic “M” since that’s the most widely used.
Way to be, Woody!
