Most people may not have noticed, but over the weekend iSubwayMaps.com went down, was moved to a new webhost and brought back online here. If all went well you didn’t notice. If you did notice, I apologize for the downtime. I tried to minimize it, and keep all maps up and online.
You’ll also notice, if you hadn’t, that all previous maps have been restored from backup and are again online. What’s left to do is convert the rest of the maps to iPod 5G and Nano formats. This will come in the future… if you’d like to volunteer for help, I will be cooking up some instructions on how to make your own maps to submit.
In the meantime, enjoy the site! It’s back up and online. Please also note that the site is now 100% fully iSubwayMaps.com. Please update your bookmarks. We’re not iPodSubwayMaps.com any longer, thanks to Apple’s cease and desist. I’ve just finally complied with their orders.

Agencies would do well to find ways to work with folks with good ideas instead of just turning loose the lawyers.
Might the MTA have overreacted and in doing so deprived commuters of something useful?
