Suddenly and without fanfare

Google Maps has building footprints in major cities, and subway stops in a lot of them (most importantly... NYC!)

Sorry, you can't use the blue "M" symbol for train stations in BOSTON. It's just Wrong.

Yay! I especially love how the subway stations show up even at the "1 in = 1000 ft" scale.

DUDE! Subway stops were the one reason I would jump from Google Maps back to Yahoo Maps. Yay!!!!

I saw them (subway stops) this morning. I did not see them there last night when I was looking where the Queens munch meets.

Yay! About time! I never could understand why this information was hard to come by. In London the "A to Z" and streetmap.co.uk and similar all show the Underground stops.

Could have done with this 5 years ago :-)

Hey, they also appear to have train stations on NJtransit as well!

Ha yeah I noticed that in SF, but didn't remark on it.

They have building silhouttes on the maps as well. Looking sharp!
