Thank you for the info I looked at them, that is what I am looking for but that is printed paper $115 each + shipping,I am looking for digital copies. I sent the museum store an email and will see if they can provide digital images. If anyone knows of any digital source please post a message on this website.Than you for your input its nice to see them even at a small size. |

Too bad, the images on that websit is too damn small, should have put in a pdf format.Why can the MTA put the Neighborhood maps on the map page? |

If you have an iPhone/iPod touch, Exit Strategy has the same neighborhood maps in electronic phones for pretty much every station and all of Manhattan. |

Yes thank you I have seen that advertised on the net but I doubt that will work on a PC and it probably is greatly reduced res. I am looking for the full size high res maps on digital. |

Posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Mon Dec 21 17:31:13 2009, in response to MTA Manhattan Neighborhood Maps, posted by TorSubDweller on Sun Dec 20 06:47:33 2009. Here is a tarball of neighborhood maps that have been posted here before (IIRC by Spider-pig).This should be pretty straightforward to extract on any modern Linux distro. Otherwise: Instructions for Linux/Unix/Mac/other vaguely standard operating systems: 1) Save the file to your home directory. 2) Open a terminal window. 3) Type: cd ~ Instructions for Windows: 1) Use a Linux live CD. 2) Follow instructions for vaguely standard operating systems, modifying the path to wherever you can save the tarball. 3) Curse Bill Gates for writing such a non-compatible disaster. |

But those (Manhattan) files are outdated. There are new neighborhood maps include all the neighborhoods. The website given by Marc A. Rivlin below is a example except the image is small, not viewable.... |

I didn't realize that you wanted electronic ones. I don't think you are going to find current ones in Acrobat. The MTA only posts the updated Lower Manhattan one. I downloaded some of the Acrobat versions that were linked to in this thread in tarball compression before the uncompressed versions were taken offline, but they, of course, are outdated. Italianstallion pointed out the one that the Unified Court System uses to show its Brooklyn courthouses, but I don't think there are any others out there. I did a Google search a couple of years ago, but found just the UCS one. And, the MTA's printed ones are very costly. Keep in mind that many of the ones posted in stations are outdated, so the Tar folder may not be all that bad.Perhaps it is time for NYC and Company to contract with the MTA to publish all of the neighborhood maps both electronically and in book form. Seeing New York, 2010, anyone? |

Perhaps it is time for NYC and Company to contract with the MTA to publish all of the neighborhood maps both electronically and in book form. Seeing New York, 2010, anyone?Or perhaps it is time for a public agency to make PDF versions of this important customer information available on their website. I seem to recall that the original neighborhood map PDF's were yanked from the MTA website in the initial post-9/11 paranoia, but the fact that they are now willing to sell highly-detailed copies puts the lie to that excuse. |

I saved these from the TA's website in March of 2003. Obviously, most of them are from before the July 22nd, 2001 service changes.Manhattan Meighborhood Maps The link will still be active as long as I keep my 4shared account open. I hope this saved you a major headache on having to obtain them. |

There is a "lite" version available on Droid (and all the other Android based smart phones) as well as the Blackberry. Unfortunately it does not yet have the neighborhood maps so probably not worth the $2.99 price. |

I dont care if they are out of date. most of the details are realiable.I contacted the MTA museum store and was told that they do not offer the maps in digital format. It would be nice if they would, say a PDF link next to each map. |

There's a free iPhone/iPod Touch app called NYC Mate (a version for Android smartphones is also available). It allows one to download neighborhood maps for all stations on to their Apple or Google device. It even includes the borough-wide neighborhood map of Staten Island. |

Actually, they were put up immediately following 9/11 to help people get around lower Manhattan and find alternate travel routes. I think they lasted almost a year before getting taken down.It's important that people remember the paranoia machine didn't start to kick in until a few months later; the younger generation which is now on the internet can only go by secondhand tales. From what I remember I saw many railfans taking pictures the few days after 9/11 of R46 Qs on the Brighton, Js at 95st Bkln and the R40 slant / R68 Qs on Queens Blvd, and heard nothing of photographer harassment until much later. I got some RFW videos on the LIRR and MNRR, including the tunnels, in 2003. In 2003 I remember being able to walk through the Albany capitol building and legislature building without there even being metal detectors present, let alone a full on turnstile and security screening. It was a nice shortcut to Washington Ave from Empire State Plaza in the freezing cold. I feel like the newsstand in the Capitol suffered a sudden drop in customers when people could no longer stop by and grab a newspaper and whatnot on their way through in the morning. |

Wow, this is the first I've heard of this app. You wouldn't happen to know the name of it? A quick search of the google market didn't turn up anything that sounded like the MTA's neighborhood maps and I'd be much obliged if you'd give us some clues as to its whereabouts. |

In the surface it looks like just another subway/bus map app, but if you tap on a station, you can download and view the neighborhood map. |

It was the railroad bombings in London and Spain a couple years later. When I first moved to NYC in 2003, I never had ANY problems taking photos, videos, etc of anything. After the summer of 2004, everything changed. |

Well yeah, we already established that, we knew there was one for Android because that was the subject of this subthread. If you mean one for the poorly designed, distant second OS with its paternalistic 'market' and its susceptibility to bricking at the whim of AT&T or King Jobs, then yeah, I guess it's available. But who really cares? At the rate they're going iOS will make Windows Mobile look popular by the end of next year. |

Yeah, that's what all of the android and other smartphone fanboys say, yet no matter what they put out, the iPhone remains popular and culturally relevant.It's effectively impossible to "brick" an iPhone. I do it all the time. |
