MetropoliPhone is a simple web app for the iPhone that contains subway maps from different cities worldwide.

It turns the often clumsy task of getting a decent subway map on your phone into something easy, quick and useful. Once you open a map you can zoom/pan it with the usual gestures of the iPhone's touchsreen.

The compiled maps are mostly from the metropolitan transit authority websites of each city.

More city subway maps are expected to be added as well as bus maps.

You might actually find this useful in your city or when you travel.

The project was done in DIY style by Carlos J. Gomez de Llarena.

I didn't know that Norman Mailer ran for Mayor of NYC in 1969. This poster uses a sweet little l'il map that namechecks lots of famous places.
