I’ve put together a Google Map of Vancouver Transit as a test of the new Google Maps API. I’m a big fan of this technology, and I really hope they keep adding to it. I think it could do for map publishing what HTML did for text publishing: democratize and simplify it. Very cool.

[...] Last August, I put together a transit map for Vancouver using the new Google Maps API. I recently went through and updated all the code, switching it over to XML for the geographic data. Using that backend, I’ve now put together a Toronto transit map. So far, I’ve only got the TTC on there – GO bus and train routes would also be valuable, of course. [...]
Very cool, I missed this back when you posted this. And yes, I have high hopes for much great stuff to come out of the Google Maps API as well as Google Earth.
I love this map – http://davidpritchard.org/maps/vantransit.html However, it is missing the Canada Line? Is there a map that shows the Canada Line? Thank you, GB

I still have the early names given to the stations, rather than the current ones… one of these days I’ll fix that.
