You’ll be happy to know that Google Maps comes now with support for subway lines. For now some of New York’s subway lines are showing under part of the transit layer and but we expect that Google will include similar support for more cities around the world.

The lines are interactive and you can find out more about a certain line by clicking on it. The maps are also available on Google Maps Mobile which is even better. Now you’ll know exactly what subway lines to choose in order to get to where you’re going.

Google Maps was great as it was but the latest version of 3.2 adds one more major feature to an already awesome application.  Version 3.2 now provides users the ability to add multiple layers of information to the maps simultaneously such as Latitude friends’ locations, public transit, traffic with real-time updates, Wikipedia, and local search results.  Users can also add their own custom-built routes created on a PC to the map with the My Map layer.  The local search results can then be displayed as tiny red dots for quick access just in case.  Head over to Google Maps website on your Symbian S60 or Windows Mobile-powered handset to download it.

Now, this isn’t anything more than proof the feature actually works but take it as you will — Google has recently announced that they have successfully implemented a feature that, with the click of a button, will allow users to semi-accurately pinpoint their location reportedly using the W3C Geolocation API.

Don’t confuse this with GPS as it’s no where near as accurate but perhaps once the technology progresses it will be able to drop a pin on our location such as the iPhone or similar devices.

If you are using Firefox or Google Chrome, head to www.maps.google.com and check it out.
